As the industry moves toward , Spoolgen is evolving. Recent developments include:
: Unlike manual drafting, where styles vary by draftsman, Spoolgen ensures every drawing follows a pre-configured, standardized presentation. Included Utilities Intergraph Spoolgen® | Hexagon
Spoolgen does not require you to use SmartPlant 3D for design. It accepts PCF (Piping Component File) data from virtually any major 3D plant design system, including: Hexagon Smart 3D / CADWorx AVEVA PDMS / E3D Bentley AutoPLANT Autodesk Plant 3D Benefits to Fabricators and EPC Companies Unmatched Productivity
For organizations requiring even more advanced functionalities, is available. This enhanced version supports the automated production of Quality Assurance (QA) documentation for the testing and certification of pipe spools in the fabrication workshop, as well as erection and commissioning of pipelines at the construction site. It provides comprehensive weld tracking, documentation, and reporting capabilities, ensuring full compliance with quality standards.
Produce accurate fabrication spool sheets (drawings) and bills of materials. intergraph smartplant spoolgen
(now part of the Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division) is a specialized software solution designed to automate the creation of piping isometric drawings for the fabrication and erection phases. It acts as a bridge between high-end 3D design systems and the physical workshop, allowing fabricators to add critical "shop-floor" data—like weld locations and spool breaks—without needing to modify the original engineering model. Core Purpose and Functionality
Incorrectly transcribed dimensions or material specs.
Intergraph SmartPlant Spoolgen (now part of the Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence portfolio) was developed to solve this exact bottleneck. It stands as the industry-standard software application for automating the creation of piping spool drawings. By utilizing a data-centric workflow, Spoolgen bridges the gap between 3D engineering design designs and the physical fabrication shop floor. What is SmartPlant Spoolgen?
Spoolgen is primarily an editor for files. It takes raw design data from engineering and transforms it into actionable construction documents. As the industry moves toward , Spoolgen is evolving
From a project management perspective, the adoption of SpoolGen translates directly into cost savings and schedule reliability. By digitizing the spooling process, fabricators receive clear, accurate drawings with precise material cut lengths. This reduces scrap rates and minimizes rework caused by misinterpreting engineering drawings. Additionally, the speed at which spool drawings can be generated allows for concurrent engineering; fabrication can begin on specific sections of a line while design is still being finalized on others, provided the proper controls are in place.
: The latest versions, such as Spoolgen 10 , include spool size visualization to help planners check container limits and manage shipping volumes. Core Business Benefits
Intergraph SmartPlant Spoolgen an industrial-grade software application used to create piping isometric drawings for fabrication and erection
Using colored highlighters to manually mark where shop welds and field welds would go. Manually drafting individual spool sheets in 2D CAD. It accepts PCF (Piping Component File) data from
Intergraph continues to develop and enhance SmartPlant SpoolGen, with future releases expected to include:
Seamlessly integrates with Intergraph Smart Production for advanced fabrication management. The Benefits of Using Spoolgen in Piping Fabrication
Once the pipeline data is loaded, the fabricator interacts with a visual representation of the pipeline. The user defines exactly where the pipeline will be split by placing:
