Hello.
we are a new company in the Italian territory, before buying autocad and buying courses I would like to know today what is the most used program to create 3d models. Thank you in advance!
 
with my research I found several programs, but I would like to know from someone more experienced so I move once and without wrong.

what program do you use and do what?
maxsurf, solidworks, creo or rhino?

I make machinery so I never use complex surfaces. I know that in the nautical sector they are used enough both solidworks and catia, but it's a hearsay.
 
depends on what you have to do. What boats are they? Fiberglass? wood? metal?
What are you planning? famine lines? piping? faring of aesthetic surfaces? hydrostatic calculations? instructions to the commander? inside? furniture?
who is your client? The shipowner? the construction site? for self-production?
how many designers are involved in the same project? 2? Five? 10?

rhino is certainly a great program used by most designers, also because it has excellent plugins (orca type). but it depends on all the things written above, can you give us more indications?

bye,
yachts in vtr and inflatables go for the major, but also yachts over the 28mt.
So we design hull, blankets and the rest of the boat. if you need a boat or a restoration contact me.
 
ok, but "projects" how can a de simoni or a cloud lenard, or how can a micad or navaldesign&consulting, or as aut of ferretti or azimut?

are three completely different crafts that require different methodologies and software.

it would be interesting to know your budget as well.
rhino costs about 1000€ but is not parametric, the other mentioned above exceed 6000/7000€
if you have to also produce 2d drawings.. rhino is not suitable

we are close to the projects of azimut, ferretti and micad. not for that I would like to preclude customers then that they will want other types of boats.
Can I then take information on solidworks?

I think I didn't explain.
One thing is if your client is azimut, one thing is if you do the work of azimutut.

If you do the work of micad you need maxsurf.
If you don't know how your work will evolve, start with rhino, then who will live will see.
 
do you want to make a software statistics used to model boats by directly consulting the model?
enter into grabcad.com, library, search by activating filters:
popular all time, category : marine, software : a pleasure among the many available.
to the gross of parcels vary are about 500 models downloadable in neutral or original format.
 
Sorry, but when this type of post always comes to me a reflection, if the company is already active, it will have employees and designers already with its own luggage of experiences in the cad.
if the company wants to be productive immediately according to me must check the choices together with the design team, if the company still does not exist or is a wish from new graduate/graduate then just look at the budget it has available and then begin to invest.
if then the needs change eventually one can assess whether to migrate or not to other platforms.
 
I still don't understand the job @ lucacmx2020 He has to do. a boat is designed with the following steps.
1. style sketch (in many cases also handmade)
2. general plans, interior detail, sizing of accommodation, tech room and private.
3. naval architecture (power forecast, straight hulls, stability. . )
4. structural dimensioning, lamination boards
5. fairing of hull and blanket lines
6. technical details (layout er, plants, inscriptions)
7. design details of style (external furniture, interior furniture, mechanisms, decoration)
8. Accommodation plans for approval notified bodies

I don't know if I forgot anything. is it possible to know what steps will you take? otherwise it is like choosing the car without knowing if you want to go shopping or win the parigi-dakar.

I have no interest in saying, my specific role or company information. are here to know which software, nowadays, is better to use to view cam/cad/cae files.
I would like to address my energies in learning rhino, since it seems to me the most used.

seem like a policeman, no offense, I came to this forum because it seems profession and reliable to take information about software similar to autocad, which are used in the business field. Now I don't understand why you want to know private information. are here to know which software, nowadays, is better to use to view cam/cad/cae files.

no, they are simply questions that are spontaneous to those who have experience. You probably have no clear idea what to do with the cad, from which your doubts in understanding why questions.

I certainly have my limits, you must recognize that you have not been able to give me an answer between, rhino, creo, or others. .
