Industrial Planning Technology, Inc. and ShipConstructor Software Inc. begin
development of STEP translator software for popular ShipConstructor™
 CAD
shipbuilding design software
Industrial Planning Technology, Inc. announces a joint
development project with ShipConstructor Software Inc. Of Victoria, British Columbia,
for the development of STEP translator software integrated with the popular
ShipConstructor™ AutoCAD shipbuilding design software. STEP (ISO
Standard 10303) is a set of international standards for the exchange of 3D
product model data between CAD/CAE/CAM systems. STEP benefits ship owners by
providing a reliable long-term archival format for ship product model data. In
the design and building stages, the availability of STEP import and export
capabilities facilitate sub-contracting and collaborative design and build
strategies. STEP captures the rich data environment, (with all the product
model attributes and relationships of piping and structure preserved) of the
ShipConstructor™ software, enabling the shipbuilding community to
build, analyze, modify, maintain and re-use data reliably. Industrial Planning
Technology has been awarded a Small Business Innovative Research grant from the
Department of the Navy, PEO Ships for work in this area.
Industrial
Planning Technology, Inc. develops,
produces, and licenses automation software for the planning, designing, and
construction of shipbuilding and process plants. SmartPlan-Ships™
software provides efficiency gains in all areas of the construction process and
facilitates rapid replanning activities. Industrial Planning Technology, Inc. is
a privately held company located in Titusville, Florida, USA. The staff
includes CAD/CAM, planning, and data exchange experts, with years of experience
in both shipbuilding and commercial software development. The company offers
consulting and customization services to provide integration with existing CAD
and ERP systems.
ShipConstructor Software Inc. is the creator of ShipConstructor™; the AutoCAD based 3D Product-Modeling software for the
design and fabrication of ships and offshore structures. ShipConstructor™
provides functions for curved plates, structure, pipe, HVAC, equipment, and
NC-processing and also generates sophisticated production documentation,
including assembly drawings, pipe spools, and production reports. For further
