Mitek Engineering Details
While physical plates are the "hardware," MiTek’s engineering prowess is most visible in its software. is the industry standard for truss design. The engineering details embedded within this software allow for modeling that would be impossible by hand.
One specific engineering detail often overlooked is the design of the tooth slots. MiTek plates are designed with slots rather than punched holes. This ensures that when the plate is pressed into the wood, the displaced wood fiber creates a tighter friction fit, significantly increasing the connection's stability over time. mitek engineering details
