MILAN, Italy, Aug 1, 2008 - think3 continues its collaboration with the multinational company SENER Engineering Systems, S.A.. to improve FORAN System, the shipbuilding CAD/CAM/CAE system developed by SENER, that boasts a current user base of over 130 shipyards and design offices located in 27 countries.

Thanks to the implementation of licenses based on ThinkDesign and thinkteam’s software components and taking advantage of a state-of-the-art technology that leverages a single software environment for easy development and customization SENER, a leading developer of a CAD/CAM shipbuilding system, was able to change its drafting product. Moreover SENER is exploring the possibility to integrate an excellent PDM technology to offer to the customer base, thus driving new sales.

think3’s technology enabled SENER to offer an even more competitive solution that streamlines the product development cycle by means of its full 2D and 3D integration.

FORAN System is appreciated for its reliability, flexibility and integration in the entire range of ship design disciplines.

“A few specific activities of the complex world of large ship design perfectly combine with ThinkDesign’s modeling functionalities,” said Tom Davis, Vice President International Business at think3. “The shipbuilding market is a strategic business for think3. Our R&D commitment in this area is confirmed by the cooperation with the Marine Engineering departments of the most important universities.”

Already in 2003 SENER signed a partnership with think3, the only supplier to offer technology solutions that link three separate design areas: the concept, its development and the finished product. The Spanish company was looking for a solution that combined advanced 2D design functionalities with the ability to get the design on the drawing board, to be integrated into FORAN. In ThinkDesign the Spanish company found the functionalities required for the optimization of its product range, delivering better quality faster.

Recently, SENER has renewed its partnership with think3 to assess the potential of think3’s technology in a 3D environment, specifically focusing on GSM (Global Shape Modeling), which allows maximum freedom in the creation and modification of complex surfaces. GSM technology allows users to change a shape quickly and accurately, while preserving the original intent of the designer. GSM allows design engineers to quickly change a shape and obtain an immediate visual feedback to assess the impact of the change on the design, thus allowing users to interact with the product rendering process and to work in an intuitive way.

“Working with think3 allowed us to enhance the functionalities of our CAD solutions while offering our customers richer and more versatile product,” said Luis Garcia, General Manager Marine Business Unit of SENER. “We are exploring the potential of think3’s technology to support our efforts for the ongoing enhancement of our System, in order to address the growing requirements of shipbuilders.”
