    Streamline Your Projects with PinnacleCAD

    PinnacleCAD is a design software bundle that empowers architects, engineers, and builders with the tools they need to deliver precision and efficiency. PinnacleCAD is built for teams that need a robust, reliable design solution. Design engineers can use PinnacleCAD to create detailed architectural drawings, 3D models, and framing layouts. Once the design is finalized, it is directly sent to Pinnacle’s advanced steel framing machines, which convert the digital plans into perfectly cut and assembled steel components. This direct link eliminates the need for manual adjustments, ensuring each steel frame is produced with pinpoint accuracy according to the specifications of the digital model. 

    From initial concept to final build, PinnacleCAD streamlines your workflow, ensuring that every detail is accounted for with pinpoint accuracy. Designed to support cold formed light gauge steel construction method, the software helps you optimize structural integrity, enhance collaboration, and bring projects to life faster and with greater precision.

    Steel Framing Design Software, One Chain

    steel framing design software — Pinnacle machine

    PinnacleCAD is the steel framing design software that closes the digital chain: structural model in — panel drawings, calculation packages and machine files out, in minutes. No third-party detailing seats, no per-panel fees, no version mismatches between designer and machine: the same system that engineers the panel drives the machine that makes it.

    See it with the machines it drives in the machine range, or get trained via expert software training.

    Every steel framing design software project starts the same way: send your drawings or program volume, and we return production modeling, machine recommendation and landed cost. That is the fastest, lowest-risk route into steel framing design software — and the numbers are yours to keep whichever way you decide.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does the software require annual licensing?

    PinnacleCAD ships with every Pinnacle machine — no per-seat detailing fees or per-panel charges. Ask for the current licensing terms in your quotation.

    What inputs does it accept?

    Standard structural models and coordinated Revit/IFC workflows; output is panel drawings, machine files and full calculation packages for permitting.
