Meet DEWALT Construction Technology and MSUITE at MCAA FAB and Autodesk University 2026

September 2026 brings two major construction technology events for mechanical contractors, fabrication leaders, and BIM/VDC professionals. DEWALT Construction Technology and MSUITE will participate in the MCAA Fabrication Conference near Baltimore and Autodesk University 2026 in Las Vegas. Both events run September 15-17.

MCAA FAB centers on the shop floor, giving mechanical contractors a closer look at the people, processes, and technology behind high-performing fabrication operations. Autodesk University explores the broader digital environment that connects design, construction, and manufacturing. Together, the conferences offer two useful perspectives on a common goal: moving accurate information from BIM through fabrication and into the field.

Dates: September 15-17, 2026
Location: Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland, Hanover, Maryland

Event Information

The MCAA Fabrication Conference is built for mechanical contractors working to improve or expand their fabrication operations. Its focused format moves beyond broad industry trends and into the daily decisions that affect shop output, labor performance, material flow, scheduling, and delivery.

Contractor-led sessions, peer discussions, success stories, and facility tours give attendees a chance to compare their operations with other shops. The value comes from seeing how other teams organize work, standardize repeatable processes, introduce technology, and solve production problems under real project conditions.

Why Fabrication Leaders Attend MCAA FAB

Mechanical contractors continue shifting more work into controlled fabrication environments to reduce field labor demands, improve quality, and create more predictable installation schedules. Greater fabrication volume, however, puts pressure on systems that once worked well enough at a smaller scale.

Spreadsheets, whiteboards, paper travelers, and verbal updates can leave shop managers without a reliable view of work in progress. A spool may be released but waiting for material. An assembly may have entered production without its status reaching the project team. Finished work may sit in the shop because field demand changed. Each disconnect makes production planning and delivery harder.

MCAA FAB gives attendees a practical setting to explore questions such as:

How can a shop increase throughput without losing control of production?
Which workflows should be standardized before fabrication expands?
How can managers identify bottlenecks earlier?
What information should follow a spool from BIM through delivery?
How can labor and production reporting support better forecasts?
What changes when a contractor begins managing multiple fabrication shops?

See MSUITE FAB During Exhibit Hours

At the MCAA Fabrication Conference, the MSUITE team will focus on the operational side of fabrication. Attendees can see how MSUITE FAB replaces fragmented status tracking with one shared view of production.

MSUITE FAB allows teams to track spools, assemblies, and work packages as they move through the shop. Managers can monitor production status, review labor information, coordinate priorities, and give project teams clearer answers about what is complete and what comes next. The same system can support standardized workflows across projects and facilities without forcing every manager to assemble reports by hand.

Bring your current workflow questions to our Booth. Whether your team is moving beyond spreadsheets, expanding an established fabrication program, or coordinating several shops, the conversation can focus on the production issues affecting your operation.

Autodesk University 2026

Dates: September 15-17, 2026

Location: Venetian Expo and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada
Booth: #4243

Event Information

Autodesk University 2026 brings the global Design and Make community together for three days of technical learning, product exploration, and peer exchange. Autodesk expects more than 12,000 professionals and over 500 learning sessions covering AI, connected information, automation, construction, building engineering, manufacturing, and integrated digital workflows. For MEP contractors, AU offers direct access to the ideas and tools changing how teams coordinate systems, prepare fabrication-ready models, and manage project information. The agenda includes hands-on labs, technical deep dives, strategy sessions, panels, product roadmaps, and the AU Expo.

Featured AU Session: Re-Engineering MEP High-Density Modeling with Revit DirectShapes (FAB4764)

Large MEP models can slow down when thousands of complex Revit families strain memory and synchronization. In this sponsored Strategy Talk, the DEWALT Construction Technology and MSUITE team will show how Revit DirectShapes can improve model health while retaining the shared parameters needed for scheduling, tagging, and fabrication.

Why BIM and VDC Teams Attend Autodesk University

Most contractors already understand the value of an accurate model. The harder challenge is preserving its value after coordination. Manual exports, repeated entry, inconsistent naming, and disconnected production systems can slow the handoff from BIM to fabrication. Detailers may finish coordinated work while shop teams still wait for complete packages. Field crews may lack a current view of what has been fabricated or released. Rework often begins in the gaps between systems, not inside the model itself. AU allows BIM and VDC teams to examine how automation and connected workflows can close those gaps. Relevant topics include Revit automation, constructability, spooling, hanger coordination, clash detection, fabrication-ready content, AI-assisted workflows, and the movement of project information across teams.

See MSUITE BIM at Booth #4243

Visit DEWALT Construction Technology and MSUITE at Booth #4243 to see how MSUITE BIM extends Revit workflows into spooling, hanger coordination, and fabrication. MSUITE BIM automates repetitive modeling and documentation tasks while keeping work inside a familiar Revit environment. Teams can create and manage spools, coordinate hangers, run clash detection, prepare bills of material, and transfer model information into fabrication workflows. When paired with MSUITE FAB, production status becomes visible to the teams responsible for planning and installation. The result is a cleaner handoff between VDC, fabrication, and the field, with fewer manual steps separating coordinated work from production. Register for Autodesk University 2026

Meet MSUITE in Maryland or Las Vegas

At both events, DEWALT Construction Technology and MSUITE specialists will be available to discuss how your team currently moves work from model to shop to field and where manual handoffs may be slowing production. Can’t attend? Explore MSUITE BIM, FAB, and Hangers or request a demonstration.
