For shipyards and designers who want to achieve new levels of efficiency, ShipConstructor is the 3D product modeling and Product Data Management (PDM) system that easily scales from a one-man shop to the largest operation. Unlike traditional systems, ShipConstructor is easy to use and maintains the high level of flexibility AutoCAD users are accustomed to.

ShipConstructor handles all 3D modeling aspects of ship design, including hull-fairing, lofting, structure, equipment, piping, penetrations, and HVAC. The generation of production drawings and reports is fully integrated with build strategy planning, plate nesting, profile nesting, assembly drawing and spool drawing generation, as well as NC-coding.

All modules are completely integrated with an SQL database for easy project management and integration with any other database system within your company.

ShipConstructor is designed to be scalable, giving smaller yards the same powerful tools as it offers our largest customers. By separating the software suite into task-based modules you can assemble a ShipConstructor package that best fits your needs. You only buy the modules you need.

Levels 1 to 9 of each program module offer affordable solutions for a fraction of the costs of the unlimited version. They come with the same powerful features, only limited by the number of parts that can be created. For example, ShipConstructor's Level 1, which sells at 10% of the regular unlimited version price, can handle boats up to about ten meters. You can upgrade to higher Levels in stages as your projects grow. Of course, there is always the unlimited version, supporting an unlimited number of parts, for really large and complex vessels.
