In order to get the results of the ship’s frame components that have good quality and neatness, we use laser cutting machine as a tool to cut plywood used as a frame material for ship’s prototype.

For that we made a “Laser Cutting Design” of the plywood using AutoCAD 2015. the results of cutting design and laser cutting results can be seen in the picture below.

Superstructure Design was completed using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2015. The picture shown above represents the superstructure design.

Certainly there are still many prospective areas that can still be used for additional buildings or other equipment, so that in the future we will carry out design development at this stage. It can be said that there are indications of modification in this area later, and indeed the results will be far better than the designs in the picture above which still look simple.

Development Design is a detailed form of the “concept design” which has described the full projection of the front, side and top view of the ship hull or what we usually know as “lines plan”

The making of this “Development Design” was done using Rhinoceros 5.0 software, which also provided the rendered-3D modeling form of the entire ship’s hull as we can see at the picture above.

To start making a ship design, we first made a “concept design” using AutoCAD 2015 software. The dimensions of the overall length (LOA) of the ship have been determined by the KKCTBN committee which is 75 ± 5 cm. The adjustment stage is carried out in searching for dimensions of width (B), height (H), and draft (T) of ships based on references from various sources such as books, journals, and the internet. So that the main dimension of the ship prototype is obtained as follows:

LOA = 78 cm
B = 18 cm
H = 11 cm
T = 4 cm

After the “concept design” is complete, we go to the next stage, the “development design” lets check out our next post!
