Some TL-Pro Customers
3M™
Software Philosophy
Build a 3-D model without compromising
performance while providing the flexibility to
add any nature of engineering calculations,
interfaces, etc
Provide the most user-friendly, powerful
engineering tools that easily interface with
other systems and applications
Integrate lean design concepts throughout
the concept-estimate-design-construct-
operate process
TL-Pro Design StudioPower Transmission Software
Combine 3-D visualization, powerful conductor and
structural analysis with flexible components and an
intuitive platform and you cut your transmission line
design time and costs.
