Principal Functions of SpoolFab


The heart of the SpoolFab system is the Fabrication Drawing or Piping Spool. Whether you start with IDF or PCF files or installation drawings, or draw spools directly, it is the creation of piping spools that enables you to record heat numbers and release drawings to fabrication. You can also record weld details and NDE and generate many different kinds of reports.
