FormaOpt

Optimize precast designs before you bid

FormaOpt finds optimal T-beam designs across your mold inventory in minutes — balancing weight, cost, and carbon for multi-span projects so you can bid faster with designs tailored to your manufacturing capabilities.

From span tables to optimized designs in minutes

1

Define Your Project

Enter span lengths and load conditions for your multi-span project. Select molds from your casting bed inventory or the PCI catalog.

2

Optimize

FormaOpt explores thousands of design configurations against your mold constraints to find the best option for your chosen objective — whether that's weight, cost, or carbon.

3

Bid with Confidence

Review ACI 318M-19 verified results, compare designs across molds, and export professional reports — all before the bid deadline.

Built for precast manufacturers

Catalog-Based Optimization

Optimize against your actual mold inventory. FormaOpt finds the best design within each mold's geometry constraints — so results map directly to what you can cast.

Multi-Span Projects

Define an entire project as a span table with varying lengths and loads. Get optimized designs for every span in a single run, ready for your bid package.

Full ACI 318M-19 Verification

Every design is verified for flexure, shear, deflection, and serviceability stress. Full structural diagrams and code check tables included — no separate hand calcs needed.

Weight, Cost & Carbon Objectives

Optimize for the objective that matters most — material weight, estimated cost, or embodied carbon. Compare results across molds to find the best fit for your project.

Professional Reports

Export PDF structural reports with section drawings, reinforcement details, and verification tables. Ready for engineer review or client submission.
