What Advanced Roll-Forming Technology Can Achieve

Possibilities with cold-formed steel (CFS) framing are limitless. Commercial structures, single-family and multi-family residential buildings, and even one-of-a-kind projects can all be built with light-gauge steel.  Here we highlight several real-world CFS projects designed with our cutting-edge software, ScotSteel and ScotSruct. ScotSteel is a comprehensive 3D modeling software for the design and…

How To Design Inexpensive Cold-Formed Steel Commercial Buildings the Right Way

Typically, builders construct commercial buildings such as warehouses and sheds as portal-shaped rigid or semi-rigid framed structures, where the frames spaced parallel to the line of action resist lateral forces in the plane of action. Builders generally use these types of structures as warehouses, storage structures, carports, industrial sheds, agricultural…
