CPI Daylighting introduces its new Direct2FAB Program that delivers translucent skylight, wall light and canopy products in custom sizes to the construction site in half the lead time – as short as three to seven weeks.

Exclusive software developed by CPI for the Direct2FAB Program automates the engineering and fabrication instructions for each order, working hand-in-hand with Computer Numerical Control equipment to fabricate each custom product. This process has cut manufacturing time by an average of 50 percent, resulting in a more cost competitive product for specifiers.

Specifiers can name their desired CPI product and custom size within the following Direct2Fab guidelines:

• Translucent Skylights that are rectangular and less than 18-ft. wide

• Translucent Wall Lights (Flush look and panelized translucent Quadwall systems) that are rectangular and less than 12-feet tall.

• TopLite pre-assembled unit skylights in any rectangular size under 7-feet wide and 14-feet long (Quadwall vault, pyramid, ridge, and single slope skylights)

• TopLite pre-assembled Pentaglas single panel vault and ridge skylights.

• Megasky high performance oversized unit skylights that are 4- or 5-feet wide and 10-, 12- or 14-feet long, tested for 90 PSF live load and 200 PSF wind uplift.

• Modular LiteBrow suspended canopies in 5- by 4-feet wide, 8- or 12-feet long dimensions, designed for combined loads of 120 PSF.
