More Testimonials

"I have jumped into the Advanced Stability module and am thoroughly impressed so far. It is a lot more user friendly than GHS is. Especially when I only use GHS 2-3 times a year, but I use Orca and Rhino every day."

Mark Keene

Naval Architect, Munson Boats

"Starting in 2020, I designed the personal watercraft (PWC) using Orca3D, it's an excellent tool. I was previously familiar with Maxsurf, but Orca3D takes things to a whole new level for me, especially since it integrates with Rhino and offers many additional features. The complex geometry of our PWC would have been quite challenging to work with in Maxsurf!"

Clovis Roy-Bernier

Naval Architect, Concept Naval

"We have been using Orca3D, including its CFD capabilities, since 2021 with excellent results in the design of hull lines and appendages. We have primarily utilized it for pleasure craft, patrol boats, SAR vessels, pilot boats, and drones. Orca3D has become a valuable tool in our design process."

Henrik Andreasson

CEO, Flow Naval Architects

"Really appreciate your support yesterday. Widening the hull, moving the ballast bulb to CL and installing internal ballast to correct the heeling moment has landed me at a workable solution. Massive, massive help. So happy I ditched that other software package."

Crayke Windsor

Naval Architect , Storm Hawk Marine Design

"I used Orca3D to teach undergraduate naval architecture courses. Students use it in their first-year design course all the way up through senior capstone projects. We use it for advanced analysis, but I can also have a new student demo a hull and start a CFD run in about 20 minutes. It's great for student engagement right from the start."
