HydroComp PropCad 2003

HydroComp PropCad 2003, developed by HydroComp, Inc., is a specialized CAD application for defining, drawing, and exporting marine propeller geometry. Built around a parametric workflow, it turns key design inputs—such as diameter, pitch distribution, rake, skew, camber, and thickness—into accurate 2D drawings and smooth 3D surfaces suitable for engineering review and manufacturing.

Engineers and manufacturers can model fixed- and controllable-pitch propellers, including open and ducted configurations, and generate comprehensive production data: blade section tables, pitch and thickness distributions, inspection maps, templates, and shop drawings. Clean geometry export to common CAD/CAM formats (such as IGES and DXF) streamlines integration with downstream modeling and CNC processes. PropCad 2003 supports consistent documentation and a repeatable design-to-production workflow for naval architects, propeller makers, shipyards, and repair facilities.

Highlights:

• Parametric definition of propeller geometry from key hydrodynamic inputs
• Rapid creation of professional 2D drawings and 3D models
• Output of manufacturing and inspection data for shop-floor use
• CAD/CAM-friendly exports for efficient handoff to machining and modeling tools
