ShipConstructor is a purpose-built CAD and production engineering system for shipbuilding and offshore fabrication that integrates detailed design with manufacturing workflows. Its primary purpose is to move designs efficiently from naval architecture and outfit engineering into production by delivering AutoCAD-based 3D modeling tailored for plate, profile, piping, HVAC, and outfitting components. Key features include production-intent model creation, automated nesting and part extraction, integrated material and kitting management, CNC/robot output, and robust revision control to keep engineering and shop floor data synchronized. The user interface leverages AutoCAD’s familiar environment while adding ShipConstructor’s task-oriented ribbons, dockable panels, and object-specific property editors. This hybrid approach shortens onboarding for CAD-literate engineers while exposing shipbuilding-specific tools through context menus and workflow assistants. Navigation is logical for multi-discipline projects, though newcomers will need training to master assemblies, database links, and production workflows. Functionality is comprehensive: structural modeling of plates and profiles, hull and shell definition, detailed piping and HVAC systems, cableways, and outfitting.
