Branch 3D

Branch is a next-generation software platform for building structure design which cuts across traditional boundaries between design and manufacturing in AEC. Branch seamlessly integrates real-time structural analysis and design, 3D modeling/detailing, and fabrication into a single, integrated design environment. With Branch, all stakeholders—from owners and architects to engineers and CAM experts—can collaborate in a unified design space. This not only facilitates a smoother workflow but also enables real-time cost and carbon feedback on design changes, dramatically speeding up decision-making and enhancing accuracy. Users can explore high-level design concepts, like building massing, and instantly understand detailed impacts, including shop drawings, bills of materials, and CNC files. Branch is highly interactive and hackable, allowing designers to explore options without limitations. We believe that integrating data from all aspects of the process allows for faster exploration and holistic, elegant designs. With a focus on the rapidly growing mass timber sector, Branch streamlines the entire design-to-manufacturing process. It promotes efficient, sustainable construction, reducing costs and accelerating time-to-market.
