CAD: The Foundation of Technical Communication

Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided drafting (CADD) are central to naval design: 3D models and 2D drawings thus form the basis for technical communication.

3D surface modeling

  • Conceptual design

  • Shaping of composite parts

  • Space allocation modeling

  • Modeling based on PDF or 3D scans

Drawing up plans

  • Structural and assembly drawings

  • Composite draping patterns

  • Equipment Integration Plans

  • Plans based on PDF or 3D scans

Volumetric 3D modeling

  • Modeling of mechanical assemblies

  • Forming of sheet metal parts

  • System Assembly Modeling

  • Generating cutting files
