The case study details how NAOS Ship and Boat Design implemented Designed For Sea and Optimized Production For Sea to create a single 3D master model. This approach supports concurrent work by multiple disciplines, early clash detection, automated BOM and drawing generation, and direct export of manufacturing instructions. The platform also enables secure partner access and rules-based automation, targeting up to 40% reduction in design cycle time.

Key takeaways

Single 3D master model enables concurrent design across structures, piping, safety, and stability disciplines

Real-time collaboration across four international sites with role-based partner access

Automated generation of BOM, drawings, and manufacturing plans from the master model

Early clash detection and design validation reduces downstream rework at shipyards

Rules-based automation and knowledge reuse support projected 40% design time reduction
