Case Study: Elliott Bay Design Group achieves faster, future-ready vessel design with SSI ShipConstructor

Elliott Bay Design Group speeds fabrication and cuts shop-floor man hours with SSI

Elliott Bay Design Group (EBDG), a naval architecture and marine engineering firm, faced the challenge of managing complex vessel designs to meet client sustainability goals while coordinating remote teams and integrating new zero-emission propulsion systems. To address these industry demands, EBDG needed a solution for real-time collaboration and the delivery of fabrication-ready models, leading them to partner with vendor SSI and adopt their ShipConstructor software.

SSI provided a cloud-enabled solution that allowed EBDG's distributed teams to collaborate on live 3D models in real time. This facilitated early system integration and streamlined fabrication through automation, resulting in measurable impacts including faster fabrication, lower material costs from efficient nesting, and improved long-term vessel maintainability via digital twin workflows. The partnership with SSI empowered EBDG to deliver greater efficiency and higher client confidence.
