Design and production, one system
The Pinnacle System is a fully integrated cold formed steel construction solution that combines advanced design-engineering software with cold roll-forming machines, creating a streamlined workflow from concept to construction.
That seamless connection between digital design and physical production ensures flexible design capability, precise execution and optimised project timelines — with no manual data entry between the model and the machine.
Strength, speed and precision for projects of every size: faster construction times, lower cost per square metre and a sustainable, non-combustible structure.
Four parts, one platform
Machines
Roll-forming lines from 18 to 9 gauge, with infinite web size and automatic tooling changeover.
Software
PinnacleCAD takes an approved structural model to panel drawings and machine files, to AISI S100.
Training
Operator and engineering training, factory acceptance testing and first-production support.
Building applications
Low-rise to 20-storey, modular, commercial and industrial — one platform covers the order book.

Pinnacle software
Model to machine
PinnacleCAD lets architects, engineers and builders create detailed, customisable designs, then talks directly to the machines to start production — no manual re-entry, no transcription error.
Detail accuracy
Every detail, from wall placement to structural member, is accounted for with pinpoint accuracy and carried through to the punched, labelled profile.
Engineering calculation
Structural calculation, 3D modelling and detailing and factory machine control, all from a single approved model.
Training and support
- Operator training on your own profiles, at your plant
- Engineering and PinnacleCAD training for the design seat
- Factory acceptance test before the line ships
- Installation, calibration and first-production support
- Remote diagnostics for the life of the machine
Pinnacle building applications

What makes the Pinnacle system different
- Infinite web size changeover — seamless transitions between profile sizes with no manual adjustment
- Automatic tooling changeover — quick, precise modification between profiles, so productivity does not stop for a size change
- Patented PinnacleTruss B2B — columns, beams, rafters and trusses on the same line as walls, floors and roofs
- One platform to 20 storeys — low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise from a single system
- Vertically integrated — design, engineering, manufacturing and build under one roof
Frequently asked questions
What is the Pinnacle Steel Framing System?
A fully integrated cold formed light gauge steel construction solution: design software, roll-forming machines, training and support, working as one workflow from concept to erected structure.
Which machine should we start with?
Most factories start with the X80i — 80 profile sizes at 24–12 gauge covers a mixed order book. The X30i suits dedicated residential work and the X100i heavy structural.
How does the software connect to the machine?
PinnacleCAD converts an approved structural model into panel drawings and machine files following AISI S100, and sends them straight to the line — no manual data entry.
How tall can we build?
Up to 20 storeys with the heavier machines in the range, and the same platform covers single villas, modular and commercial structures.
What training is included?
Operator and engineering training, factory acceptance test on your own profiles, installation and calibration, first-production support and remote diagnostics for the life of the machine.
