3MT develops 3D CAD layouts that allow customers to visualize equipment placement, material flow, and system integration before fabrication or installation begins. Whether you're planning a new pellet production facility or upgrading an existing system, seeing the layout before anything is built saves time, money, and installation headaches.
Designing material handling systems without visual planning often leads to installation problems, equipment conflicts, and costly surprises once fabrication begins.
3D CAD layouts allow you to see how equipment will fit inside your facility before a single piece of metal is cut. This helps identify clearance issues, service access needs, and equipment placement challenges early — when changes are easy and inexpensive rather than after equipment has already been built or delivered.
CAD layouts also help coordinate system design between different equipment suppliers and installation teams, keeping everyone working from the same plan.
3MT develops layouts that plan the placement of equipment throughout your entire pellet production or material handling system.
Layouts may include: PSM feeder, pellet mill feed systems, batching and metering systems, conveyors and material transfer equipment, mixers and blending equipment, and upstream material storage.
By visualizing the complete system, equipment can be arranged to support smooth material flow and efficient plant operation before anything is committed to fabrication.

CAD layouts are often developed after process consulting has helped define the basic material flow through a facility. Once the process is defined the equipment layout is designed to support that flow while fitting within your available plant space.
This approach allows you to move from concept to equipment installation with a clear, coordinated system plan — reducing installation surprises and keeping projects on schedule.
A completed CAD layout gives your installation team a clear picture of how equipment will be arranged inside the facility before anything arrives on site.
Layouts assist with: installation planning, equipment clearances, maintenance access, structural considerations, and coordination between trades.
3MT's 3D CAD layout service is available as a standalone engagement — you don't need to purchase equipment through 3MT to get a professionally designed system layout. If you have capable people on the floor and just need the plan, that's exactly what this service is designed for.
And if you do move forward with equipment after 3MT designs your layout — we offer a discount on any 3MT equipment purchased as part of that project. The layout fee becomes an investment toward your equipment rather than just a cost.
3MT develops CAD layouts for systems used in:
• feed mills
• biomass pellet plants
• fertilizer production
• plastics processing
• compost and soil product manufacturing
