ShipConstructor

SSI ShipConstructor is described as a complete solution for the 3D design, engineering and construction of ships, from basic and functional design to production. It is built for naval architects, marine engineers and production teams and is used by design agents and shipyards to build a digital twin, improve collaboration and reduce rework.

Key features

• Works inside AutoCAD, combining CAD with shipbuilding-specific tools, data structures and workflows.
• Works with project data from any source, including third-party and legacy vessel designs; supports conversion of legacy models from Foran, Catia and Aveva.
• Welds, pipe, structure and outfitting are managed in a single model environment; drawings and production outputs are generated from the model.
• Open architecture integrating with other CAD tools, PLM (e.g. PTC Windchill), ERP and the wider shipyard tech stack.
• Onboarding approach that SSI states can get teams operational in as little as 8 weeks.
