From the frame to the fixing

See how it
comes together.

A focused workspace for small steelwork firms. Work with members, connections and drawing views in the context of the whole model.

01 — MODEL

Start with real sections.

Place beams, columns and braces using steel profiles. Work with grids, snapping and member properties to develop the frame.

02 — CONNECT

Get into the detail.

Work with baseplates, end plates, fin plates, bolts and welds. Inspect how the parts sit together in three dimensions.

03 — DRAW

Take another view.

Create general arrangement and assembly drawings, with dimensions, marks and schedules for review.

Work across your devices

Your project.
Your choice.

Save your work as Staxis project files in a location you choose. Put a project in iCloud Drive when you want to continue on your Mac or iPad. Close it on one device before editing it on another: simultaneous multi-user editing is not included. Trade Insight does not receive your project through this workflow.

Launch plans, not an offer to purchase today. Prices are intended UK customer prices including applicable VAT, subject to final App Store configuration. Purchasing will take place through Apple. Other regions use their local App Store prices.

Eligible new subscribers will receive 14 days free, then £29.99 each month or £299.99 each year for their chosen plan unless cancelled before the trial ends. Cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the trial or current period to avoid renewal. The final price, eligibility and renewal terms will be shown by Apple before confirmation. No trial applies to the lifetime purchase.

Lifetime covers the Staxis Mac desktop product and future updates released for that product. It excludes future cloud services, separately sold products and personal training. It does not guarantee compatibility with every future macOS release. Read the full terms ↗

A few things worth knowing.

Is Staxis available to buy today?

Not yet. We are preparing the Mac App Store release. The prices and trial above describe our launch plans; purchases and trials are not currently available.

Do I need a Staxis cloud account?

No Staxis cloud account is planned for the local-file release. An Apple Account and internet connection will be needed for App Store purchases, downloads and purchase restoration.

Does lifetime include future updates?

Yes: future updates released for the Staxis Mac desktop product are included. Future cloud services and separately sold products are not included. Lifetime is a permanent desktop entitlement, not a promise of development or operating-system support forever.

Can I use the drawings straight for fabrication?

All models, connections, dimensions and outputs need checking by a suitably qualified person before fabrication, erection or construction. Staxis is a modelling tool and does not replace engineering design or approval.

Which Macs will be supported?

Final macOS and hardware requirements will be published with the Mac App Store listing. The screenshots show the Mac application; an iPad product is not included in this launch offer.
