ROLE OF CAD IN MARINE INDUSTRY
3D Printing
3D Printing can help print high-quality replacement ship parts at low costs and save thousands of dollars. This can help in optimizing the supply chains. 3D printers can capture even intricate and complex designs with accuracy. Additive marine manufacturing helps reduce repair costs and saves the time to replace discontinued parts. 3D Printing was able to remove the difficulty of providing on-demand custom parts that can be manufactured close to the vessel, especially in the mining environment. With the help of 3D Printing, shipping costs can be avoided, lead time can be reduced, and it does not require keeping stock.

3D Scanning
3D scanning plays a vital role in the marine industry. Accurate and comprehensive measurements can be taken of any part using marine 3D laser scanning, which saves hours of manual labour. 3d point cloud can be used to create or modify a design. 3D Scanner captures data as a 3D point cloud of millions of point clouds in just a few minutes or hours. Existing vessel drawings are sometimes inaccurate; 3D marine scanning is the best technique for precise measurements, producing accurate retrofit designs and maximising efficiency at a lower cost. Laser scanners can scan existing structures, including pipelines and fully functional prototypes, and identify the errors or small cracks not visible with manual measurement. Laser scanning is accurate, and it is used at every stage of the retrofitting process. Laser scanning can provide accuracy from 0.5 to 1.6mm. s
CAD Designing
It is a quick technique for shipbuilders to create designs using efficient software like SOLIDWORKS. Now, you don’t have to do manual labour and spend days designing. From miniature pilot boats to massive vessels, they can be designed using CAD Drafting. Custom designs can be built using this technique. Our engineering team engages in marine engineering design work and is supported by a multidisciplinary modelling and & drafting team using our specialized computer software.
