Case Study: Damen Mangalia improves 3D shipyard modeling efficiency with Cadmatic

Damen Shipyards Mangalia – User-friendliness of 3D modeling Enrichment of detail 3D ship models and extraction of production information

Damen Shipyards Mangalia, a key shipyard in the Damen group, needed an efficient way to enrich detailed 3D ship design models received from other partners and extract production information from them. Their previous software was complex and required a multi-step process for basic modeling tasks, creating a need for a more user-friendly and effective solution from a vendor like Cadmatic.

The shipyard implemented Cadmatic's 3D design software, which features high-level topology that automatically updates all related parts when a change is made. This user-friendly solution significantly sped up modeling for items like plates and brackets and reduced errors. The Cadmatic eBrowser tool is also used daily by foremen and production engineers for design review and outfitting, providing a clearer 3D overview than 2D drawings. The result is a streamlined workflow and more efficient production process at the shipyard.
