Start here. Scale with FRAMECAD as you grow.

The Steelform Core is where your move into steel frame manufacturing begins: a starting point, never a ceiling.

The Steelform Core makes it easy to start manufacturing your own steel frames.

Purpose-built for trusses, wall frames and floor joists in structures up to three levels, the Steelform Core is designed to get you producing quickly and confidently.

Because the whole FRAMECAD range runs on the same ecosystem, your designs, data and operator skills carry across as your volume grows. The Steelform Core is where your move into steel framing begins: a starting point, never a ceiling.

Real productivity is finished frames and trusses per day, not headline line speed. The Steelform Core delivers best-in-class production output among comparable roll-formers, with machine learning that continuously optimizes motor, drive and hydraulic performance as one system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can the Steelform Core produce? The Steelform Core produces trusses, wall frames and floor joists for structures up to three levels, including housing, low-rise commercial and modular buildings.
Why choose the Steelform Core over other FRAMECAD machines? The Steelform Core is FRAMECAD's entry point into steel frame manufacturing: lower capital investment and best-in-class output among comparable roll-formers. Start here, prove the market, then scale. A starting point, never a ceiling.
How does in-house steel framing compare to outsourcing? Manufacturing your own steel frames gives you control over speed, quality and margin. No waiting on subcontractors or deliveries, and every frame produced strengthens your return on investment.
What support does FRAMECAD provide? FRAMECAD provides local sales, technicians and parts in key regions, backed by 35+ years of steel framing expertise. FRAMECAD Customer Success supports you from setup through ongoing operations.
Why start steel framing now? Steel framing is going mainstream in residential and light commercial construction, driven by speed, precision, sustainability and labor shortages. 
Do I need separate machines for walls, floor joists and trusses? No. The Steelform Core produces trusses, wall frames and floor joists on a single line with standard coil. Some entry-level machines require a separate truss line and a second coil size, adding cost, floor space and complexity.
Do I need 3rd party design software? No. The Steelform Core works with Steelwise™ design and engineering software, all developed in-house by FRAMECAD. Your calculations, models and production data flow through one system, with no third-party tools to manage.
How are FRAMECAD steel frames connected? FRAMECAD frames are screw-fastened. Screws create tighter joints, are easy to adjust or rework, and avoid the loose shank waste and squeaking common with riveted frames. For crews new to steel, screws are far more forgiving.
