Software, services, and expertise for the business of shipbuilding.
Purpose-Built for Naval Shipbuilding
SSI equips you with innovation, production automation capabilities, and native CAD-to-PLM connection required to deliver the next generation of naval vessels.
Reduce risk and complexity in first-of-class builds
Proven success in global naval shipbuilding, including first-of-class and government programs.
Minimizes disruption while supporting model-based innovation like Digital Work Instructions (DWI) and Model-Based Engineering (MBE).
Built for hull effectivity and model control across PLM, CAD, and production systems.
All-in-One Model Welds, pipe, structure, and outfitting managed together in a single model environment.
Auto-Generated Manufacturing Info Drawings and outputs flow directly from the model — no rework, no manual updates, no Excel.
Full-Model Visibility Visualize the complete ship and compare changes to make faster, more confident decisions.
Seamless PLM Integration Easily connect your product model to PTC Windchill and share information with the entire shipyard.
Built for the complexity of naval shipbuilding
“The SSI software suite offers a complete solution for design, engineering and construction. It is the only home-grown Canadian solution of its type and SSI has achieved huge export success, being for the design, construction, and sustainment of defense projects across North America and in shipyards around the globe.”
Derek Buxton, Vice President Business Development.
“With SSI, we found a partner who deeply understands why shipbuilding is different and why it’s not production line manufacturing and was able to link the CAD tool together with the PLM in a way that we would have to have done ourselves separately if we were bringing in two separate tools together.”
Andrew Malcolm, Chief Digital Officer.
See the three keys to a naval digital thread
Accelerate your processes, adapt to change, and meet the increasingly digital demands of your programs by building a digital thread.
SSI bridges the product model with PTC Windchill, your enterprise, and your production tools — so your team maintains traceability within the entire project.
Changes made in your design environment automatically update drawings, production outputs, and send information to production machinery, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. Built on an open architecture, ShipConstructor supports long-term adaptability without vendor lock-in or workflow disruption.
