Project Highlights
The client for this 36 m long range motor yacht sought Royal Huisman to bring a vision for a custom motor vessel to reality. Royal Huisman, in turn, sought the use of ShipConstructor to make this happen seamlessly.

Integrated 3D Product Modeling – Royal Huisman’s construction team liaised with the company’s pipe engineers, using one 3D product model that automatically grew in complexity as production developed. The shipyard is realizing cost savings in the form of visualization, error checking, and improved production efficiency because of the concurrent real-time process.

Project Management – The central SQL database enables data to be shared, implements and enforces standards, and automatically enters data to ensure product consistency. Thus the management of the project was simplified. The yacht was turned right side up in May for superstructure work, and is on-time for its scheduled delivery in April 2006.

Spec-driven Pipe Catalog – The Pipe module’s parametric pipe catalog with specs and connections allows for quick generation of a 3D pipe model, referencing any number of 3D structure drawings to ensure collision-free routing. Anytime a pipe item is created, deleted or altered, the weight and centre of gravity of the complete product model is automatically updated.

Royal Huisman Shipyard B.V. is supported by Marinus Meijers, SSI’s ShipConstructor representative in The Netherlands.
