Mark your calendars! Mestek Machinery is thrilled to announce a joint webinar with Arkance, taking place on Thursday, May 28, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET. Titled From Model to Manufacturing: Streamlining MEP Workflows from BIM to Fabrication, this free, one-hour online event is designed for MEP professionals looking to close the gap between design and the shop floor.

Whether you are a BIM coordinator, fabrication manager, project engineer, or contractor, this is one event you will not want to miss. Arkance and Mestek Machinery are coming together to walk attendees through the full journey from creating high-quality model content to turning that data into fabrication-ready outputs, and finally putting it to work on the shop floor.

What to Expect

This webinar covers the complete MEP workflow from start to finish, with insights from two of the most experienced names in the industry.

Arkance will open with best practices for generating fabrication-ready model content, common gaps that create downstream inefficiencies, and guidance on when to leverage internal teams versus external BIM services. From there, the session moves into post-processing and spooling workflows, with a hands-on look at tools like CAMduct and Fusion and how standardization in these stages reduces costly rework and accelerates production timelines.

Mestek Machinery then joins the conversation to show how that carefully prepared data drives real results on the shop floor. You will hear directly from our team about how fabrication equipment, automation systems, and software all depend on clean, structured inputs to perform at their best, and what it looks like when BIM and fabrication are truly working in sync.

The session wraps up with a forward-looking discussion on emerging technologies shaping the future of connected MEP workflows.

The agenda includes:

    • Welcome and introductions from Arkance and Mestek Machinery
    • Generating model content: best practices and key considerations
    • BIM vs. fabrication services: finding the right approach for your team
    • Post-processing and spooling: turning models into fabrication-ready deliverables
    • The Mestek Machinery perspective: how shop floor equipment relies on structured data
    • The future of connected workflows in MEP fabrication
    • Live Q&A session

The webinar runs approximately 60 minutes, including 15 minutes dedicated to open Q&A.

Presenters include:

    • Louie Mdanat, Solutions Consultant, Arkance
    • Nick Miller, Director of BIM Services, Arkance
    • Mike Bailey, Senior VP of Sales, Mestek Machinery

Why You Should Attend

If your team is dealing with inconsistent model outputs, rework on the shop floor, or a disconnect between what detailing produces and what fabrication actually needs, this webinar was built for you.

By the end of the session, you will have a clearer picture of how to connect design, detailing, and manufacturing into a more streamlined and scalable workflow. Specifically, you will come away with:

    • A better understanding of post-processing, spooling, and fabrication workflows using tools like CAMduct and Fusion
    • Insight into how structured, accurate data directly impacts equipment performance, automation, and production efficiency
    • Practical knowledge of how connecting BIM, fabrication, and equipment can reduce rework and improve overall project outcomes

This is also a rare opportunity to hear from both the software and machinery sides of the equation in a single session. Mestek Machinery and Arkance serve complementary roles in the MEP fabrication ecosystem, and this webinar gives attendees a comprehensive, end-to-end view that is difficult to find anywhere else.
