TDG is providing complete design-to-fabrication services for complex dimensional stone cladding at 15 Hudson Yards.  Using a procedural 3D modeling approach in CATIA, we develop the architectural design intent along with a set of first-principle rules for technical system design.  The model accrues detail and embedded intelligence over the course of the project to eventually support all phases of design, engineering, coordination, prefabrication and installation.  Custom automation routines produce CNC fabrication models and cut tickets for approximately 1800 unique stone units which were fabricated in Cararra, Italy, as well as custom prefabricated support steel structures made in Queens, NY and West Orange New Jersey.
