Improve Piping Design Quality…
Industrial piping systems designed using AutoCAD PLANT 3D (P3D) or CADWorx PLANT (CWx) are ‘spec-driven.’ Still, users often modify parts, compromising purchasing, fabrication, and potentially mechanical integrity. It is now possible to automatically inspect parts within 3D Piping models with parts within pipe specifications.
Two key players in this domain are MTOWorx and SaaS Mechanical, which offer innovative solutions for managing pipe specifications and a parts catalog containing parts originating from the specifications. In this article, we’ll explore how MTOWorx and SaaS Mechanical enhance the quality of 3D piping models by ensuring accuracy, consistency, and compliance with project piping specifications.
Comprehensive Parts Management:
MTOWorx is a Plugin for P3D and CWx that accumulates all 3D piping parts from an active file, providing a comprehensive inventory of components within the piping systems.
SaaS Mechanical complements this by offering a robust parts catalog that contains all the parts specified in corporate piping standards, including sizes, purchasing descriptions, and part numbers.
Discrepancy Detection:
By deploying MTOWorx and SaaS Mechanical, team members worldwide can systematically compare parts within the 3D piping model against those in the SaaS Mechanical part catalog.

Hi Mark,
Mark, I appreciate your interest and I’m sorry for the delay in response.
Let’s schedule a technical exchange and discuss the use cases.
SaaS Mechanical can extract every part from CADWorx PRJ files, inspect for errors, and load them into its Parts Catalog.
MTOWorx reads 3D AutoCAD Plant 3D or CADWorx piping models and then runs a comparison against the SaaS Mechanical Part Catalogs.
Part size, description, and/or part number are inspected, and discrepancies are flagged.
The pipe spec and 3D model quality control hold points have proven invaluable especially when responsible for issuing construction deliverables like material purchases and piping isometrics.
