Frequently asked questions
Is Cadmatic suitable for both large shipyards and smaller design companies?
Absolutely. Cadmatic is designed to scale with your needs – whether you’re a global shipyard managing massive, multi-team projects or a smaller design company focusing on specific tasks. The tools are flexible, allowing you to handle complete ship design and production or just specific design phases. With powerful work sharing capabilities, Cadmatic makes it easy to collaborate across teams, locations, or company boundaries, without compromising efficiency or data consistency.
Can I use Cadmatic only for part of a project?
Yes. Cadmatic is built to be as flexible as your project demands. While it offers a complete toolset for end-to-end ship design and production, you can just as easily use it for specific phases. Whether you need to create 3D basic design models, produce detailed engineering drawings, or generate digital production documentation for the shipyard, Cadmatic integrates smoothly into your existing workflow. It supports efficient data exchange with other systems and ensures consistency, even when you’re only handling a portion of the overall project.
How does Cadmatic prepare shipyards for future challenges?
Cadmatic equips shipyards with future-ready tools that keep pace with a rapidly changing industry. As new regulations, sustainability targets, and technologies emerge, Cadmatic’s solutions evolve to meet them. The software supports advanced technologies like virtual and augmented reality, integrates AI-assisted design capabilities, and promotes data-driven workflows that improve efficiency and reduce errors. By digitalizing key processes and enabling smarter collaboration, Cadmatic helps shipyards boost productivity, reduce waste, and stay resilient in the face of evolving demands – from green shipbuilding to global competition.
How does Cadmatic help reduce design errors and manual work?
Cadmatic reduces manual work by automating key design processes and centralizing all project data in a single, integrated environment. Designers and engineers work with shared, up-to-date models, which minimizes the risk of conflicting or outdated information. Built-in rule checks and smart design features help catch potential issues early, reducing rework and delays. With less reliance on repetitive manual input, teams can focus more on design quality and innovation – while ensuring consistency, accuracy, and compliance throughout every phase of the project.
