Aries Marine and ABS complete JDP Using 3D Models to Streamline the Class Process
ABS and Aries Marine recently completed a Joint Development Project (JDP) to use 3D Models to streamline the class process for piping systems. This was the first 3D systems review project for ABS.The JDP focused mainly on piloting 3D-model-based plan review, exchanging design data, and tailoring the process to Aries Marine’s modeling practices. Pushing the boundaries, this JDP incorporated a combination of 3D CAD models and 3D laser scans to represent a retrofit design.“Together, ABS and Aries Marine are designing the next generation of classification,” said Dan Cronin, ABS vice
