In shipbuilding, the design and construction processes often involve repetitive tasks and the need for consistent structural elements across various vessels. This research paper presents the implementation of Template Oriented Modeling (TOM), an in-house developed CAD feature that offers an innovative solution to address these challenges.
Continue readingThis paper delves into the technical aspects and viability of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and knowledge-based engineering (KBE) tools in practical design. The goal is to digitally embed the hands-on expertise and technical boundaries set by seasoned professionals during intricate engineering and preparatory phases.

Eleven years back, in 2022, we embarked on an incredible journey. That was the year we planted the seed that developed into our AI-software for ship hull engineering. Personally, I find it hard to imagine how we ever managed without it. Where are we now, and how did we get there?

At MasterShip we are specialized in making 3D virtual models of ships. With the goal to make building more efficient. Unless still important it is not the challenges anymore to make just fitting parts for steel hulls, for pipes and for interiors separately. But the challenge is to combine these disciplines in a fitting total.

After about 60 years of CAD in shipbuilding, we are currently entering the 3rd generation of CAD software: The generation that leverages the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This paper briefly explains the results of the Innovative approach and detailed technical feasibility performed by MasterShip on different cases.

Het bouwproces van schepen is er de afgelopen decennia heel anders uit komen te zien. Wat alle nieuwe ontwikkelingen van de laatste vijftig jaar echter wel overleefd heeft, is de 2D-constructietekening. Het wordt tijd dat we de functie van een constructietekening eens onder de loep nemen.

Koppeling CAD/CAM;
Vaak zijn de schepen en het maritieme
equipment in moderne tekensystemen ontwikkeld. Het kan veel voordeel opleveren
als de verkoop- en de planningsinformatie die uit CAD-modellen te halen is, direct
of via een interface in de ERP-software gebruikt kan worden.
