ShipConstructor - Testimonials

Distinct Advantage

"Quite a few shipyards have invested in AutoCAD 3D and ShipConstructor software gives ACMA an easy, cost-effective way to interface our clients' projects and bring AutoCAD into a production mode ... In the competitive world of shipbuilding this innovative software gives ACMA a distinct advantage when it comes to taking a ship owner-developed design to a shipyard for construction."

Mr. Darrel J. Harvey, Vice President

Alan C. McClure & Associates Inc., USA

Significant Savings

"ShipConstructor is an integral part of Elliott Bay Design Group's goal to provide state of the art detail engineering to the commercial shipbuilding industry. We are using ShipConstructor to develop a full 3D product model of a sophisticated, 260' OSV. By use of this tool, combined with our engineering organization, the shipyard is realizing significant savings in production labour hours. ShipConstructor allows us to support the shipyard throughout the entire production cycle by providing them with the drawings, documents and reports necessary for all facets of the construction process."

Mr. Kenneth R. Lane, Executive Vice President

Elliott Bay Design Group, USA

Aligning Team Effort with Greatest Confidence

"Before ShipConstructor we were hesitant to do multiple jobs at the same time. However the number of jobs, size and complexity of our projects demanded a system that required us exactly to do so. ShipConstructor allows us to track and see the complete picture at every stage of development. We are able to control and organize multiple jobs without the fear of costly mistakes.

The best thing about ShipConstructor is that we can align the entire engineering team with production requirements and procedures. Working with yards all over the world, we have to adopt our information to the wishes and requirements of the yards. With ShipConstructor we can achieve that with the greatest confidence."

One Software for Any Job

"With the wide variety of hull forms employed throughout the industry, it is a challenge to find one product with the capabilities to handle any job. Over the past ten years, utilizing ShipCAM to deliver computer-lofting services, I have yet to find myself without a tool to handle the task at hand. From barges to yachts, the Albacore (ShipConstructor Software Inc.) product line allows me to deliver a service to my clients, along with the confidence to say I'm utilizing 'leading-edge' technologies."

Albacore Research (ShipConstructor Software Inc.) works with our engineers and lofts-men to help make their software fully supportive of the build strategy that Bender employs. Bender has found ShipConstructor to represent the best value and quality for an AutoCAD application design package on the market today, and the support is without equal."

Managing for Quality

"In our ongoing efforts to be competitive in today's tight market, ARL (SSI) has provided us with a tool which assists in managing for quality, enables management to better plan the production phase with an overview of complex spaces, gives visual guidance to yard personnel where 2D representations fall short, and in general helps eliminate waste throughout. We chose ARL (SSI) because they are quick to solve problems and develop the next level applications that are needed by the industry. We find their reputation for quality and service is justified and look forward to ARL's (SSI's) continually improving software performance."
