Now offering the latest in 3D duct design software for sheet metal shop drawings

RanStan, Inc now offers the latest in 3D duct design. Utilizing DuctDesigner 3D from Quickpen International and AutoCAD® MEP (formerly AutoCAD® ABS) from Autodesk®, we are taking sheet metal shop drawings to a whole new level. We, and you, will be ahead of the curve when 3D collaboration and shop drawing coordination is the norm in just a few years. BIM is here to stay and its use is being accelerated by the federal government, developers, and building owners.

This software package allows direct downloading to the Lockformer® Vulcan plasma cutting machines. If you use an older cutter or a different brand, DuctDesigner 3D can provide timesaving reports and piece numbering to facilitate manual input without laborious manual numbering and piece counting. In either event, systems can be tagged by system, zone, floor, area, or any other sub-divisions needed.

This system can be customized to your normal shop and field standards as well as for any single unique project. Know an engineer with especially unique design elements? This system can be customized for those projects or any other you may encounter.


We look forward to discussing how we can serve your sheet metal shop drawing coordination needs at your earliest convenience.
