Overview of Cutouts & Clips in Marine CAD Systems

by

🚢 In shipbuilding, structural members often need to penetrate other plating elements to ensure continuity and structural integrity. These penetrations, known as cutouts, are essential for assembling stiffeners, longitudinal frames, and other structural components. Additionally, clips (also called collars) are often required to reinforce and seal these cutouts. This post provides an in-depth look at … Read more

Understanding Endcuts in Marine CAD Systems

by

When designing ships using a CAD system, profile endcuts play a crucial role in ensuring proper assembly, welding, and structural integrity. Endcuts define the specific shape applied to the ends of structural profiles, allowing for precise connections and optimized manufacturing processes. This post explores the fundamentals of endcuts, their classification, and how they are managed … Read more
