The absolute fastest way to design and manage ship structure!
ExpressMarine is the most efficient tool for parametric marine structural design.
How ExpressMarine can help your business.
We serve shipyards and design agencies that are dealing with these types of challenges:
- Ship structural elements must be modelled manually.
- Manually modifying the structure after design changes.
What can you do with ExpressMarine?
The Rhinoceros plugin for structural design allow you to create a
fully parametric ship structural model.

ExpressMarine takes a fresh approach on parametric modeling.
A combination of mathematical and graphical parameters set the base for the 3D model. This forms the ship’s DNA from which the entire structure is developed. Changes made at this level will propagate down the hierarchy and allow interdependent elements to morph and update.
Taking advantage of Rhino3D’s power to export numerous file formats, ExpressMarine enables seamless transfer of geometry to other tools, making it an ideal pre-processor for detail engineering, FEM testing, weight tracking, class drawings, etc
Prioritizing efficiency, ExpressMarine allows the use of parametric and non-parametric elements in the same model, thus minimizing the disadvantages of the fully parametric approach, where modelling time is wasted on the definition of certain parameters which may never be used later.
Simply use Rhinoceros to model complex geometries or import and transform them into an ExpressMarine structural object.
