COST's Computer Aided Framework System (CAFS) is anew alternative to the theme construction process. Thissystem is revolutionizing the way that highly detailed thematicfeatures and finishes are constructed for several reasons:CAFS shop drawings can be easily integrated with 3Darchitectural drawings for clash detection providing betterintegration with architectural, HVAC, lighting and otherscopes; provides quality control checks and balances through-out design and fabrication; delivers a more visual 3Drepresentation of the theme work; provides accurate featurereplications based from computer generated modeling;off-site fabricated panels and pieces decrease on-site construc-tion scheduling; allows for just-in-time deliveries of fabricatedpanels and pieces; and increases efficiencies from concept tocompletion.

This automated system can be used to fabricate any themepieces that require a high level of detail. The process beginsby importing 3D building drawings and scanned modelsinto CAFS. Custom software creates output data that is sentto fabrication equipment to create structural components likedimensional steel bars, as well as decorative pieces, such assculptural elements or facades. For structural support pieces,data is processed in our automated bar bending equipment.This equipment bends each bar to exacting specificationsproviding structure to our thematic features.When developing
