What is AX300?
AX3000 is the leading construction software for building services engineering, energy engineering, and sustainability. It has evolved over 40 years, has been thoroughly tested every day in practice, and refined with countless improvements based on user feedback.
AX3000 is available as seamless integrated plug-in for AutoCAD, and BricsCAD. It is easy to learn, efficient to use, and universally applicable. With AX3000 you get a tool that allows you to work faster and smarter, saving time and effort. Once you have mastered AX3000, you will be amazed at how quickly you will finish your MEP projects.
Overview
Why use AX3000?
Thanks to AX3000, you can concentrate on what you do best and enjoy most: planning, designing, and surveying. The software takes all the tedious technical work off your hands: final artwork, visualization, testing, parts lists, standard comparisons, etc.
Who uses AX3000?
Construction companies, general contractors, engineering offices, executing companies, and educational institutions, all use AX3000 to deliver their projects and to train the next generation of building services engineers and designers.
Benefits of AX3000
Easy to learn:
AX3000 was designed to be easy. You draw in your CAD program with the functions with which you are familiar. The user interface is easy to understand and works the same in every module. It is intuitive to use and requires only a brief introduction.
Easy to use:
Convenient special solutions for planning and designing ventilation, heating, sanitation, and electrical systems in 2D or 3D. With the Easyline system, you can plan complex systems automatically using simple line commands. The software features many design aids that make your work so much easier, such as article libraries, smart symbols, functions for importing buildings, etc.
Accurate:
The software produces all necessary parts lists, fitting lists, and CNC production lists. Of course, exactly in line with the applicable European and
international standards. All components can be evaluated graphically so that errors are easy to spot. Consistent data (ideal data flow) and defined data structures help to avoid misunderstandings.
Comprehensive:
AX3000 offers special solutions for all systems: ventilation, heating, sanitation, electricity, residential ventilation, and sprinkler. You use ONE tool with the same features for all planning stages. AX3000 guarantees optimum data flow between all systems.
Visual:
Intuitive cross-window operation. Perfect 3D visualizations, cross sections, and perspective views. Graphics in all important forms: full-screen, black/white, without fills; with or without hidden edges.
Universal:
The software is compatible with AutoCAD and BricsCAD, guaranteeing fast and loss-free data exchange. AX3000 offers standardized interfaces for heating and sanitation systems as well as for manufacturing interfaces such as Lockformer, Klimax, etc. The software supports all common standards: EU, DIN, Austrian standards, GOST, SNIP, Ashrae standards, etc. and is always up to date.

Key Features
Heating Systems
AX3000 is a software for designing heating systems. It offers integrated material databases, automatic features, and interactive drawing functions. The Easyline tool allows for system design using simple line commands. The software considers standards and regulations, accessing up-to-date databases for manufacturers' objects and pipe material. It can generate calculations and parts lists directly.
Electrical Systems
The Electrics module in AX3000 provides efficient tools for electrical planning, including ductwork, route planning, electrical base design, circuit checking, and analyses in Microsoft Excel. It offers reliable calculations, plausibility checks, an article database, and a distribution manager for circuit management. The module also features descriptive visualisation functions, allowing users to switch between 2D and 3D visualisations, display cable routes isometrically, and conduct integrated plausibility checks.
Sanitation and Waste Systems
The Sanitation module saves time in sanitary planning by integrating with other construction software modules and using automatic features. It offers Easyline single-line dimensioning and smart drawing elements for quick and effortless planning. The module incorporates important standards, corrects designs, and generates necessary Excel lists and room book logs.
Fire Safety Sprinkler Systems
Design sprinkler systems quickly and easily with our advanced design tools. Use standard CAD functions or Easyline to dimension the system, even in challenging construction situations. Access an updated library of sprinkler components for logical and error-free design. Customize your own sprinkler types. Visualize the system in color and 3D, including individual components. Define pre-assembly groups and evaluate them graphically.
Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems
The Ventilation module is a tool for creating detailed implementation and installation plans. It uses Easyline for dimensioning and CAD drawing functions, and AX3000 for 3D views, labels, connectors, length calculations, and section views. It also offers sewer system calculations for pressure loss, sound, cooling, and heating load simulations, allowing for efficient planning and quick calculation of system layout changes.
