CAD Modeling and Design
Our designer and drafters develop 3D models, detail drawings, fabrication drawings, modification drawings, diagrams, and figures for use in technical manuals. Our experience includes CAD support for multiple engineering disciplines (i.e. piping, electrical, HVAC, structural) relating to various phases of ship design, industrial design, and mechanical design activities. Additional experience includes ship checks and field verifications to obtain design criteria onboard ships and at commercial facilities. This includes creating sketches of existing system modifications and redlines of existing drawings to reflect modifications and updates. We utilize 3D notional and design models to develop images and videos for use in presentations and design reviews to ensure our customers’ design concepts / criteria are being met.
