China's Shanhaiguan Shipbuilding to Use PTC CADDS 5

In order to meet the challenge of growing competition and elevate design capabilities, Shanhaiguan Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd decided to implement CADDS 5 and create a collaborative design environment. Previously, the company mainly focused on ship repair. Using a 2D application had created severe bottlenecks, inefficient plotting practices, hindered ability to collaborate across integrated design teams and ultimately caused massive development delays. In order to accelerate transformation from ship repair to a comprehensive shipbuilding business and take advantage of digitized ship design capabilities and 3D modeling, SHGSIC turned to PTC solutions. After implementing CADDS 5, integrated product development teams could work collaboratively and more efficiently, and as a result, SHGSIC has saved significant amounts of time and materials.

CADDS 5 is an adaptable, hybrid 3D CAD/CAM system which enables companies to create products with very large assembly structures such as ships. It allows a large team of designers to concurrently carry out design work in an all-digital ship design and 3D modeling environment. Through integrated, advanced technology for structural, HVAC, electrical, piping and database-driven systems design, CADDS 5 improves user productivity and increases design speed. Furthermore, CADDS 5 provides an intuitive user interface, powerful ship reference system, and a high-end graphics engine which provides translucent images and mixed product views in a single environment. CADDS 5 can significantly shorten product design cycles, enabling faster ship construction.

"Through our partnership with PTC, we have been able to implement a collaborative design environment, where we can achieve timely product data synchronization and improve design quality," said Gao Fusheng, SHGSIC Vice Chief Engineer and Head of Shanhaiguan Design Institute. "As China's shipbuilding industry continues to develop, the implementation of CADDS 5 will greatly enhance our product development capabilities and elevate our core competitiveness.”

“We are very pleased that SHGSIC Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd has adopted PTC’s CADDS 5 as its product design and collaboration platform. We look forward to a long-term partnership, where we can continue to provide them with industry leading process and technology solutions as well as professional services.” said Richard Prince, director, A&D Vertical Market Strategy, PTC. “We are committed to providing solutions which meet our customer’s unique requirements and we continually work to improve our solutions for shipbuilding customers.”
