Painting technology nowadays of big ships is an intense manual operation. Which
generally contains about 10%–15% of the entire construction price. Consequently,
shipbuilders have to be compelled to estimate the specified quantity of anti-corrosive
coatings and painting resources for inventory and price management throughout
shipbuilding and dry docking. The aim of the study to develop a package that allows
the shipbuilders to estimate painting space mistreatment ship space calculation which
existing ship structural models. The ship's structure is extracted from the prevailing
construction design system and used to produce painting areas by the geometric
information. To specify the painting areas, the paint faces will generate by users
clipping structural elements within every area. Finally, the painting resources are also
obtained from the merchandise of the paint areas and needed paint thickness. Real
shipbuilders' operations have contributed to improve productivity of the developed
package implement, quicker resource estimation, higher accuracy, and fewer coating
defects over their typical manual calculation ways for painting resource estimation.
