Introduction to ShipConstructor - VIRTUAL EVENT

We’re excited to bring back ShipConstructor 101: An Introduction to the World of 3D Ship Design this May, following the strong interest in last year’s session. Danielle Rankin will once again lead this workshop—now offered virtually to ensure broad access for participants wherever they are. As the need for skilled ship designers grows, familiarity with advanced 3D design tools has become essential. This session offers an accessible introduction to ShipConstructor, a leading software developed by SSI, a Canadian company based in Victoria, British Columbia and a proud SNAME Corporate Affiliate. In this session, Danielle will take students on a journey through SSI's ShipConstructor, starting with a comprehensive introduction to the software and its key features. From there, she’ll showcase the power of its 3D modeling capabilities with a live demo, bringing detailed ship models to life. Danielle will also highlight resources for students interested in self-paced, free training, empowering them to dive deeper into the tool on their own.
