Project Highlights
100% Accuracy – The use of a 3D product model, such as that developed using ShipConstructor, provided some major advantages in the design process of the Z-Tech Class Tugs. Obviously, there is a guarantee of virtually 100 percent accuracy in the design. More importantly, the structure can be optimized and altered if necessary, as the model is developed and better design solutions become apparent through the full 3D visualization of how all the parts fit together, and also how the spaces are best accessed.

Powerful Shipbuilding and Marketing Tool – ShipConstructor is the 3D product modeling and Product Data Management (PDM) system for shipyards and designers. It provides easy-to-use tools within AutoCAD for the design of curved plates, structure, pipe, HVAC, and equipment, for NC-processing and for generating sophisticated production documentation, including assembly drawings, pipe spools, and production reports. It has also been designed as levelled modules allowing consulting offices to buy, rent or lease only what they need for a reasonable cost.
