Design that understands
Steel Framing
Sketchframer is a professional design tool created by specialists in Steel Framing and digital modeling. It works as a plugin inside SketchUp, giving you tools developed from real project experience.
No license required to start. Model, generate drawings, and download cutlists completely free. You only pay if the project moves into fabrication.
Fabrication at the core
Sketchframer goes beyond design.
Every project is built with fabrication as the endpoint — not an afterthought.
From the software, generate NC files ready for the cutting and punching machines used across different markets.
Your projects are prepared for real production from the first model.
A growing Steel Framing ecosystem
Sketchframer connects technicians, factories, and builders through a single platform. Projects can be designed, quoted, and sent to production in one place.
Every actor in the Steel Framing industry has a role in the platform, and every role is free to enter. The ecosystem grows with every project that passes through it.
MANU.
The first step into your own Factory
Manu is a compact steel framing machine designed to work directly with the software.
It brings digital fabrication closer, using locally sourced profiles and standard materials, without the infrastructure cost of industrial machines.
