This software tool requires, as input, a CAD file containing the scene with the two pipes to connect, and provides, as output, a CAD file with the fitted spool design. The software detects the features of the spool, and a heuristic pipe routing algorithm generates the output by computing several routes and providing one solution that is near to the optimal one. This output design considers the characteristics and capacities of the manufacturing process, as well as the library of materials used in the shipyard, so it is possible to use it for direct manufacturing. The preliminary results presented here were obtained using real data captured with different commercial 3D scanners over a test setup.  000007615 542__ $$fCC-BY-NC-ND-4.0 000007615 6531_ $$aAutomatic design 000007615 6531_ $$aPipe routing 000007615 6531_ $$a3D scanning 000007615 6531_ $$aSpool fitting 000007615 6531_ $$aMarine systems 000007615 7001_ $$aUzcategui, F$$uUMI UDC-Navantia, Ferrol, A Coruña, Spain 000007615 7001_ $$aPaz-Lopez, A$$uMytech IA, A Coruña, Spain 000007615 7001_ $$aVilar, J$$uNavantia, Ferrol, A Coruña, Spain 000007615 7001_ $$aMallo, A$$uUniversity of A Coruña, A Coruña Spain 000007615 7001_ $$aBrage, A$$uNavantia, Ferrol, A Coruña, Spain 000007615 7001_ $$aMoro, H$$uNavantia, Ferrol, A Coruña, Spain 000007615 7001_ $$aBellas, F$$uUniversity of A Coruña, A Coruña Spain 000007615 773__ $$tConference Proceedings of INEC 000007615 773__ $$jINEC 2018 000007615 789__ $$whttps://zenodo.org/record/2448157$$2URL$$eIsIdenticalTo 000007615 8564_ $$9aec9d56c-87c1-4379-ba20-625ab5d33ad4$$s9104418$$uhttps://library.imarest.org/record/7615/files/INEC%202018%20Paper%20060%20Bellas%20FINAL.pdf
