What is CADMATIC Hull
CADMATIC Hull is a shipbuilding-focused 3D CAD application used to model hull structures and produce production deliverables for marine and offshore projects. It supports detailed structural design tasks such as defining plates, stiffeners, openings, and related assemblies, and it generates drawings and fabrication information from the 3D model. The product is typically used by naval architects, hull structural designers, and shipyard engineering teams that need a production-oriented hull model integrated with downstream documentation.
Shipbuilding-specific hull workflows
The tool focuses on hull structural modeling rather than general-purpose mechanical part design. It provides domain-oriented objects and functions for plates, stiffeners, seams, and openings that align with shipyard engineering practices. This specialization can reduce the amount of custom setup compared with general CAD tools when the primary scope is hull structure definition and detailing.
Production deliverables from 3D
CADMATIC Hull is designed to drive drawings and fabrication-oriented outputs from the 3D model. This model-based approach helps keep drawings and production information consistent with design changes when teams follow a controlled update process. It fits organizations that need traceable engineering outputs for shipyard production rather than only conceptual 3D visualization.
Part of CADMATIC suite
CADMATIC Hull sits within a broader CADMATIC product family used in marine and plant contexts. This can support cross-discipline coordination when hull design must align with other ship systems and documentation practices. Suite alignment may simplify standardization for organizations already using other CADMATIC modules.
Not an AI 3D generator
Despite being listed alongside AI 3D model generator and text/image-to-3D categories, CADMATIC Hull is primarily a CAD/engineering modeling tool. Public product positioning centers on ship structural design and production documentation rather than generative AI creation from prompts or images. Teams seeking prompt-based 3D generation typically need separate tools or workflows.
Narrower than general CAD
The product is optimized for hull structural design, which can make it less suitable for broad mechanical design, consumer product modeling, or general drafting needs. Organizations with diverse CAD requirements may still need additional general-purpose CAD/MCAD tools for non-marine work. This can increase toolchain complexity across departments.
Adoption and skills requirements
Shipbuilding CAD systems generally require specialized training and disciplined modeling standards to produce reliable production outputs. Implementation often involves configuration, libraries, and process alignment with shipyard practices. Smaller teams may find the setup and ongoing administration heavier than lightweight 3D modeling tools.
Plan & Pricing
Pricing model: Token-based subscription (Cadmatic One License, COL) and Perpetual + Maintenance options
How it works (from official site):
- Cadmatic One License (COL) is a shared, token-based subscription pool. Customers subscribe to a number of COL tokens (monthly or annual), and applications (including CADMATIC Hull) borrow tokens from the pool while in use; tokens return to the pool when the application is closed. Pricing is described as token-based and dependent on the number of tokens, subscription term, and chosen deployment (cloud or on-premise). (Official description.)
Publicly listed pricing: No fixed plan prices for CADMATIC Hull are published on the official site. The Cadmatic pricing page states that pricing depends on products, modules/add-ons, licensing model, and number of users/tokens and directs customers to request a quote or contact sales. The pricing page also notes that only some products have online purchase/pricing (CADMATIC Electrical, Draw & eBrowser) — CADMATIC Hull is not listed among products with direct online pricing.
Notable licensing options (official):
- Cadmatic One License (COL) — token-based subscription (monthly and/or yearly terms).
- Perpetual license with maintenance (three-year initial maintenance period with automatic one-year renewals).
- Cloud or on-premise deployment; fixed or network licensing; ability to choose modules/add-ons.
Key notes & features relevant to pricing:
- Flexible licensing (tokens can be added/scaled, convert existing maintenance/subscription to COL).
- Implementation, training, and support options are offered as part of contracts (per pricing page).
Official next step recommended by vendor: Contact Cadmatic/sales for a budget quote or to start with COL tokens; book a demo or contact sales on the CADMATIC Hull product page.
