Cademia Alternatives

Cademia

CADEMIA is a modern CAD system with a full functionality to create dimensional accurate technical drawings and documents.

Existing software tools for the planning process have severe limitations: They are restricted in openness, they are dependent on the platform, they are complex to use and to program and the users have a limited exertion of influence on the further development.

As a solution, a new platform for geometry-oriented AEC applications has been developed at Bauhaus University Weimar: CADEMIA. While CADEMIA was originally written for teaching and research purposes it is now available as open source software for the practitioner. A long time experience in the development of these systems in the building industry forms the basis on which CADEMIA is built.

The modular design principle of CADEMIA offers lots of possibilities to integrate other functionalities. Due to this flexibility CADEMIA can easily be customized to fit individual needs. CADEMIA is programmed in Java and is therefore platform independent. This way it serves as an inexpensive alternative to proprietary CAD software.

A small core-developer team constantly improves the software. Our most important goal is to deliver our customers a top quality product. We would be happy to assist you in the development of CADEMIA Plug-Ins for your specific applications.
