The strongest team for designing and modelling in the glazing industry

APOLLON, powered by Inventor, is the fully parametric 3D software for curtain wall and facade modelling, developed especially for the glazing industry, further supplementing and expanding ATHENA (AutoCAD-based) software functions for 2D and 3D design.

Changes are part of everyday life, right? But with APOLLON, changes to the facade geometry, profiles, infills or connections can be implemented with significantly less time and design effort, avoiding costly errors.

Any ATHENA profile system drawing can be easily transferred to APOLLON. To the wire model, easily apply specific or proprietary profiles and have them automatically joined together. Once all parameters and mutual dependencies have been defined, any subsequent changes are carried out consistently and automatically on all profiles, connections, infills and geometries, making planning more flexible. Fixings, brackets, anchors, etc., can also be prepared and implemented parametrically.

Associatively linked production plans, position models and parts lists are generated from the 3D model, which can be imported into ATHENA and compiled into project documentation. The entire design can be transferred to CNC production via the CAM interface.

Changes won’t bother you anymore!

Interested in accelerating your design workflow.

Planning a sophisticated curtain wall, façade, or shopfront doesn't take much. A capable designer with enough experience and a flair for technically sophisticated solutions – and a powerful AutoCAD application that is developed especially for the glazing industry and precisely tailored to the designer's requirements.

ATHENA automates tedious daily routines, supports professional design workflow, on time and without errors, and takes a lot of work off the designer's hands by using a parts library, enabling use with any manufacturer profile systems in 2D and 3D, free semi-finished profiles and sheet metals.

ATHENA provides many benefits and outputs through its smart features and functionalities from concept design by rapidly speeding up the shop drawings preparation over elevation by projecting parametric ATHENA objects to create fabrication documentation to intelligent viewports, number of CNC export files, IFC, BIM, and interfaces to APOLLON, CRONOS, Revit, MRP and Logikal.

Let our specialists show you which solutions will make your work easier in the future, increase your efficiency and productivity and give you more security.

HEGLA-HANIC / Next-Generation Software

With Cut+, HEGLA-HANIC introduced completely reprogrammed software (HMI) for cutting table organization over the past year. At GlassBuild, we will be giving visitors insight into the next generation of the ERP system that can integrate all processes: from digital order collection, storage and individual machines to delivery at the construction site. “Standard OPC UA, digitalization and an increasing level of automation all motivated us to make our ERP even more open with the Dynamics 365 development platform from Microsoft,” said Managing Director Jan Schäpers from HEGLA-HANIC. The new software basis now makes it possible to enable many add-ons, such as for financial bookkeeping or controlling via the Microsoft platform. On the other hand, a wide range of programs can be integrated with only minimal effort. As completely redeveloped software, it is perfectly adapted to all current systems.

With Hegla Laser Technology / The Standard Becomes Added Value

Be it bird protection glass, QR code laser printing, antibacterial panes, heated glass panels or an RF-transparent IG unit: HEGLA boraident wants to explain how easily a standard product can become a commodity with added value. “With a range of samples, we want to give the impression of how flexibly glass can be finished by removing or transforming the functional layer, or via non-destructive printing with our Laserbird,” explained Dr Thomas Rainer, the Head of Development at HEGLA boraident. In addition to the option of creating functional glass without tooling time or an additional service provider, Thomas Rainer sees the “single piece” option as a major advantage: “Via the user-friendly GUI or connection to the ERP, each individual pane can be coated with various finishing treatments without any waited time.”

Professional installation of glass and glazing systems is crucial for today’s building performance needs. And there’s only one program that vets and verifies architectural glass and metal contractors. North American Contractor Certification (NACC) is North America’s ONLY ANSI-accredited, third-party credential for glazing contractors. NACC offers proof of each certified glazing contractor’s documented quality management procedures to ensure safe, correct, quality installations that reduce risk to owners, construction managers, general contractors and building occupants.
