Orca3D to Present at SNAME Canadian Atlantic Section Virtual Event – May 30th

We’re excited to share that Orca3D will be featured in an upcoming virtual event hosted by the Canadian Atlantic Section of SNAME (Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers) on Friday, May 30th, 2025. This special one-hour session will offer an in-depth introduction to the Orca3D Naval Architecture plug-in for Rhino, including the latest updates and features.

The presentation will be led by Orca3D’s managing partners and co-founders, Bruce Hays and Larry Leibman, who will demonstrate how Orca3D empowers naval architects and marine designers with intuitive, professional-grade tools.

What to Expect

During the webinar, Bruce and Larry will walk participants through key Orca3D capabilities, including:

  • Hull design and fairing tools

  • Basic hydrostatics and intact/damaged stability analysis

  • Parametric resistance prediction

  • Weight and cost tracking

  • Advanced Stability module – Easily model tanks and compartments, evaluate damage scenarios, run multiple load cases, and generate compliance-ready reports

  • Orca3D Marine CFD – Bring accurate, easy-to-use computational fluid dynamics to your desktop, no CFD specialization required

This is a fantastic opportunity for both current users and those new to Orca3D to explore the full range of tools we offer—and to ask questions directly to our team.
