Built for modern naval shipbuilding

Digital transformation in naval shipbuilding

Naval shipbuilding demands precision, control, and collaboration at scale. Cadmatic gives you the digital foundation to deliver all three.

Reduce workshop hours by at least 15%

Disconnected tools slow you down. Manual handovers create errors. Outdated drawings cause rework. Cadmatic bridges the information flow between engineering, design, planning, and production.

With integrated 3D data linking and embedded engineering practices, your teams always work with up-to-date, accurate information. You move from drawings to drawingless production. Production teams use intelligent 3D models and dashboards instead of paper. Data integrates smoothly with your production control systems.

Full control over sensitive design data

Naval shipbuilding demands strict data security. Your projects involve classified information, multiple partners, and distributed teams. Cadmatic gives you granular access control across your 3D environment. You define who sees what – down to specific project areas.

Filtered replication, controlled viewer files, expiration dates, and masked drawings help protect critical design data. You collaborate globally while keeping full control locally. Secure work sharing keeps your teams in sync without compromising confidentiality.

One integrated solution for all disciplines

Naval vessels demand tight coordination between hull, structure, piping, electrical, and automation. Silos cost time and introduce risk. Cadmatic brings all disciplines together in one integrated environment:

  • CADMATIC Hull – from basic design to detailed 3D models and automatic production data extraction

  • CADMATIC Outfitting – machinery layout, piping, HVAC, and production-ready data

  • CADMATIC Electrical – electrical and automation design fully connected to 3D

  • CADMATIC P&ID – process flow diagrams, schematics, and intelligent comparisons with the 3D model

Unified engineering data across the yard

Large naval programs generate massive volumes of data. Without structure, that data becomes noise. CADMATIC Wave connects your shipbuilding process and data management into one unified system. It combines design data and documents into a single source of truth and integrates smoothly with your existing IT landscape.

With CADMATIC Wave, you:

  • Improve efficiency and reduce costs

  • Enhance collaboration and transparency

  • Deliver consistent, accurate data

  • Reduce errors and redundancies

  • Support better decision-making with advanced visualization
