ECS Empowers Productivity with ShipConstructor in the Cloud 

Shipbuilding today is more global than ever. Depending on the project, individuals, teams, contractors, and sub-contractors can be in the office next door or on the other side of the world. Who your shipyard or design office chooses to work with shouldn’t be limited by their location.   ECS is an American engineering services firm in […]

Navalista Combines 3D Scanning with ShipConstructor to Speed Up Refit Designs

Every day a vessel is in drydock is a day of lost revenue for the ship’s owner. Minimizing the time a ship is off the water is becoming even more important to solve as ships have longer service lives and require an increasing number of repairs and refits to meet environmental and other regulations. Navalista […]

Increasing Uptime by Quickly Comparing As-Designed, As-Built, and As-In-Service Models 

Innovation Story

In a perfect world, our vessels would be built exactly as they were designed, and the digital twin would always reflect the ship as it sits on the water. The complexity of shipbuilding and the concurrent way in which ships are built makes this a challenging goal to achieve, but every step we make towards […]

KD Marine Design Implements AR and VR Innovations to Streamline Ship Design

KD Marine Design incorporated the latest AR, VR, and laser scanning innovations into their design workflow, significantly improving communication and information flow between them and the shipyard.

Ship Design Office Implements Leading Onboarding Program

Genoa Design International

In 2012, as Genoa was set to play a crucial role in Canada’s National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS), they identified the need to expand and onboard in large numbers rapidly. With not many designers previously familiar with shipbuilding and a large number of projects ahead, it was going to be a challenge to ramp up quickly and ensure everyone was on equal footing.

Incremental Implementation of 3D

Miho Shipyard

Miho understood that it was critical to look for a next-generation system, and after evaluating numerous solutions, introduced ShipConstructor as their primary hull production design solution in 2010. The tangible benefits of 3D were clear; however, a key consideration was that the implemented solution needed to be introduced quickly and without disrupting ongoing projects or established processes.

3D Design in Japanese Shipbuilding

LPT and Inamasu

Japanese shipbuilders lead the world in quality, but many are now experiencing the consequences of outdated processes, systems, and workflows. The Japanese Laboratory of Practical Technology (LPT) and Inamasu Shipbuilding have combatted this by using advanced 3D technology to improve on Inamasu’s sophisticated shipbuilding techniques.
