Constructions Mecaniques de Normandie implemented the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform to replace 2D ship design with full 3D digital mock-ups. CATIA handles design, ENOVIA manages collaboration and version control, and DELMIA generates CNC files for plasma cutting. The single-site shipyard reports reduced design time, fewer errors, and faster customer feedback through virtual reviews.

Key takeaways

3D digital mock-up replaced 2D drawings for complex vessel design

ENOVIA enables real-time cross-discipline collaboration on single model

DELMIA converts 3D geometry directly into plasma cutting machine files

Virtual customer reviews cut costly late-stage design changes

Designers spend less time searching data and more time on innovation
