Oregon Iron Works (OIW) are currently expanding their ship construction division and needed an integrated software suite to extract the greatest possible efficiency from these operations. OIW closely compared ASC products with our competitors, and chose the Autoship System. In particular, they were impressed with ASC's ability to integrate its fairing, shell plating, and bulkhead placement solutions.

Autoship hull design/surface modelling program gives you the tools to quickly and efficiently create any hull shape from a racing yacht to a super tanker, including the superstructure, appendages and foils. The Autostructure group is a comprehensive yet easy to use set of programs for internal structure design. Autostructure is an integral component of our complete CAD/CAM suite, and includes an interface with piping design software and material management software. Autoplate performs plate expansion calculations for both developable and non-developable plates. Autoplate helps in the layout and forming of the shell plating. It is based on a modern proprietary expansion algorithm.

Founded in 1944, Oregon Iron Works is headquartered near Portland in Clackamas, Oregon, with a second manufacturing facility located in Vancouver, Washington. Their Marine division has experience in military and commercial watercraft. For more information, see OIC's web site: http://www.oriron.com/
