ESAPRO 3D Piping is the piping software ideal for designing 3D plants. It offers customizable catalogs with over 40,000 components, real-time interference checking, modeling of equipment and steel structures, 2D drawings and BOMs. It is also integrated with ESAPRO P&ID.
The ESAPRO 3D Piping add-ons, available for separate purchase, extend the capabilities of the base product by adding new features.
Adding this module allows you to create automatic isometric sketches and detailed material lists. ESAPRO Isometrics generates sketches from ESAPRO 3D Piping models, with an intuitive interface and an isometric symbols library.
Adding this module allows you to efficiently organize the prefabrication of spools for the workshop. ESAPRO Spool divides a sketch into spools, generating material lists and sub-sketches with dimensions.
Adding this module allows you to design in 3D the supports for pipes modeled with ESAPRO 3D Piping. ESAPRO Supports generates construction drawings and material lists, including a customizable standard parts library.
Adding this module allows you to export the 3D geometry to the most popular stress analysis software. ESAPRO Stress Interface generates PCF files from the 3D model, compatible with CAESAR II®, PASS/START-PROF®, ROHR2®, and AutoPIPE®.
Adding this module allows you to automatically calculate pressure drops in the pipes. ESAPRO Head Loss performs the calculation from the 3D model, generating a table showing the head loss for the entire analyzed section.
Adding this module allows you to improve CAD system efficiency by integrating it with document management software. ESAPRO PDM Connector optimizes storage and automates revisions and saving material lists in the PDM.
With over 4000 installations worldwide, ESAPRO 3D Piping is a leading solution in industrial plant design. Flexible and easy to use, it adapts to any project scale, from small plants to large infrastructures.

3D piping design software builds the three-dimensional model of the piping in an industrial plant and generates 2D drawings and bills of materials directly from that model. It checks interferences between pipes, equipment and structures and verifies that every component complies with the specifications of its line, so routing conflicts and specification errors emerge during modeling, not during construction. It differs from generic 3D CAD because it works on structured project data, not on geometry alone.
The best piping design software is the one that matches the projects to be delivered: wide, customizable component catalogs, interference checking, drawings and bills of materials generated from the model. ESAPRO 3D Piping meets these requirements with catalogs of over 40,000 customizable components and real-time interference checking, and adapts to any project scale, from small plants to large infrastructures, with the training and direct support of ESAIN.
Yes: ESAPRO 3D Piping is based on the standard CAD format DWG and uses only native entities, so models and drawings remain readable by other CAD software without converters or dedicated viewers. This matters when deliverables go to clients and partners working with different tools. The compatibility covers the whole ESAPRO suite, which shares the same working environment and the same project database.
The bill of materials is generated automatically from the 3D model: every component placed in the model is recorded in the project database, and material lists are extracted from there, with export to Excel, without manual counts on the drawings. At every revision the lists are regenerated from the updated data, so the ordered material matches the latest approved version of the project.
Yes: ESAPRO 3D Piping integrates with BIM and with laser scanner Point Clouds, the surveys that capture the as-built state of a plant. New lines are modeled directly on the survey of the operating plant, so routes and clearances are verified against the real situation. It is the typical workflow of revamping and expansion projects, where piping design rarely starts from a blank sheet.
