shipbuilding techniques

Shipbuilding techniques involve various methods and processes used to construct ships and vessels. Traditionally, wood was the primary material, shaped using hand tools. Today, steel and fiberglass are common, employing welding and molding techniques for durability and efficiency. The construction typically follows a sequence: designing the hull for stability, fitting the frame, and installing engines and systems. Advanced technologies like computer-aided design (CAD) and robotics enhance precision and speed. Additionally, different types of ships, such as cargo, fishing, or leisure vessels, may require specialized techniques and designs to meet their specific functional needs.
