Ready to Innovate

Paragon is thrilled to be selected as a finalist for the SBCA Innovation Grant, recognizing our cutting-edge approach to revolutionizing truss design and manufacturing. Our cloud-based software addresses the complexities of a highly technical industry, ensuring precision and efficiency in every project. Having been rigorously tested in controlled production environments for years, we are now ready to empower other shops with our solutions. As we move forward with beta testing, we are committed to gathering valuable feedback to refine our offerings and deliver the best possible tools for building component manufacturers.
