Build smarter with fewer hours
  • Top-down aerial view of a modern naval warship cruising through the ocean, featuring a helicopter on its rear landing pad and various radar and weapon systems on deck.

    Shift from drawings to intelligent 3D models that connect design, engineering, planning, and production. Reduce workshop hours by at least 15% and eliminate unnecessary rework with up-to-date and integrated project data. 

Reuse what works – adapt to change with ease
  • A large aircraft carrier sailing at sea with numerous fighter jets lined up on its flight deck, set against a clear blue sky and distant coastline.

    Capitalize on the value of sister projects by reusing existing work, managing changes efficiently, and supporting parallel design work. Achieve greater consistency, save time, and stay agile across long-running naval programs.

One solution for all disciplines
  • A gray naval patrol vessel cruising at sea, equipped with radar systems, antennas, and mounted guns, with crew visible on deck under a partly cloudy sky.

    Work across every design and engineering discipline with a connected toolset. Keep projects aligned even across large, distributed teams with tools that verify, coordinate, and automate routine tasks. 
    • Hull and structural design – move from basic concept to detailed 3D models and production data 
    • Outfitting and piping – create layout and production models for machinery, piping, and HVAC 
    • Electrical and automation – integrate electrical and automation design with 3D modeling 
    • P&ID and schematics – manage and compare diagrams with live 3D project data 

Take control with CADMATIC Wave

    Ensure your teams always work with the latest, most accurate data. CADMATIC Wave is a marine-focused PDM platform that puts you in control of engineering data, documents, workflows, and change processes – all in one integrated platform. With unified data and smart workflows, it’s easier to manage complexity, eliminate bottlenecks, and deliver projects with confidence.
    • Unify data from multiple sources and systems
    • Automate documentation and version control
    • Manage change requests with full traceability
    • Streamline collaboration between teams and departments
    • Reduce errors and accelerate decision-making
    • Visualize design and process data in high-resolution, context-rich formats

Keep everyone aligned with CADMATIC eShare

  • Break down silos and bring teams together with a shared view of your shipbuilding project. CADMATIC eShare connects data across disciplines and systems, thereby creating one source of truth for design, engineering, planning, and production. When everyone has the full picture, decisions are faster, collaboration is smoother, and risks are easier to manage.
    • Navigate complete 3D models linked to real-time project data
    • Track progress, identify issues early, and reduce delays
    • Access the right information securely – without cloud hosting
    • Link documents, emails, models, and notes in one environment

Built-in security for high-stakes collaboration
  • Sustainabilty | Cybersecurity | Cadmatic

    In naval shipbuilding, protecting sensitive information is non-negotiable. You can safely manage collaboration across teams, contractors, and borders without ever losing control of your design data. As remote and distributed work becomes the norm, you can collaborate globally while safeguarding national security, intellectual property, and the safety of personnel. Granular permissions, filtered replication, and drawing masks help you limit access to only what’s needed, when it’s needed. Key protections include:
    • Role-based access control across project stakeholders
    • Masked drawing views and expiration limits on viewer files
    • Isolated sharing of sensitive project areas
    • Secure offline replication – no reliance on public cloud
    • Traceable changes and full version control

Work with the systems you already use
  • Webinar on CADMATIC eShare's new features

    Integrate with ERP, PLM, and other business-critical systems using the Cadmatic Web API and exchange2D and 3D models . Transfer data effortlessly between systems to avoid duplication and ensure design accuracy. Open interfaces and interoperability functions make it easy to keep your workflows connected and your shipyard running smoothly.
