The software is currently being deployed by the piping design faculty at KKTM Pasir Mas (MARA Skills Training College) campus, following a successful implementation at KKTM Kemaman earlier in 2015.

"Smart 3D is becoming the standard design tool for oil and gas companies in Southeast Asia, so we felt it was imperative that up-and-coming piping designers enter the industry with a working knowledge of Intergraph's industry leading software," said Mohamed Roseli Dol, director of MARA's Technical and Vocational Division.

Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine president, said, "The education sector is an important one for Intergraph, as we are strongly committed to nurturing the next generation of engineers and designers. This, in turn, helps to ensure that future engineers will be equipped to enter the oil and gas industry."

Smart 3D is the world's first and only next-generation 3D design solution specifically tailored for plant, offshore, shipbuilding and the metals and mining industries, employing a breakthrough engineering approach that leverages real-time concurrent design,  rules, relationships and automation. It is the most advanced and productive 3D design solution that effectively enables optimized design, increasing safety, quality and productivity, while shortening project schedules. Companies in these industries typically report a 30 percent improvement in overall engineering design productivity.

Intergraph Technical User Forum (TUF) LinkedIn groups provide an online discussion forum for year-round networking between users. To learn more about Smart 3D and network with other Intergraph users, visit ppm.intergraph.com/technical-user-forums.
