Ada Steel turns descriptions of rectangular steel or aluminium frames into a 3D model, member schedule, cutting list, and fabrication files.

For
Small fabricators planning hollow-section frames
Worth noticing
The site says dimensions must be stated rather than guessed, and that the model feeds the schedule, cutting list, PDF, and CSV.

Field notes

The workflow starts with a spoken or typed frame description; the site says Ada asks when a dimension is missing rather than guessing it. Its example shows a 2000 × 1000 × 1200 mm frame and lists eight members, while the cutting-plan description includes saw kerf, offcuts, and waste. The homepage limits the scope to rectangular hollow-section frames and explicitly excludes structural adequacy and compliance checks.
