2015年5月6日,英国海军技术网刊登文章称,英国BAE系统公司正率先运用3D可视化技术提高造舰项目设计阶段的效率及灵活性。3D可视化技术是一种通过电脑软件细致、逼真、三维呈现真实物体的虚拟形态的技术。该公司已在英国格拉斯哥、朴茨茅斯、布里斯托尔三地搭建可视化套件网络。工程人员现正使用3D可视化技术建造全尺寸3D舰船原型,以虚拟建造和测试舰船的设计方案。操作人员利用 On May 6, 2015, an article published by the British Navy Technology Network said that BAE Systems UK is the first to use 3D visualization technology to improve the efficiency and flexibility of the design phase of shipbuilding projects. 3D visualization technology is a technology of presenting the virtual form of a real object through computer software in detail, vividly and three-dimensionally. The company has a network of visualization suites in Glasgow, Portsmouth, and Bristol in the UK. Engineers are now using 3D visualization technology to build full-scale 3D ship prototypes to virtually build and test ship designs. Operators use
