Unlike traditional CAD software that creates static drawings, SP3D builds an intelligent 3D model where every component—from a two-inch elbow to a 500-ton reactor vessel—carries rich engineering data, including material grade, pipe schedule, design conditions, and more. This fundamental shift from a "drawing-based" to a "data-centric" approach is what sets SP3D apart and makes it the preferred tool for the world’s largest engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractors, such as Bechtel, Fluor, Worley, and Petrofac, as well as owner-operators like Saudi Aramco and Shell.

The journey from Intergraph to Smart 3D (SP3D) embodies the rapid evolution of design and engineering solutions in response to the growing complexity of EPC projects. These technologies have revolutionized how industries approach design, construction, and operation, setting new standards for efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration. As we look to the future, the impact of these solutions on project execution and digital transformation across industries will only continue to grow.

And so, the legend of SpeeD and the Golden Algorithm lived on, inspiring generations to come, as a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation in the boundless world of Intergraph.

This module allows for the placement of complex equipment (pumps, heat exchangers, vessels) and the routing of associated pipelines. The software uses automated pipe routing algorithms that adhere strictly to pre-configured piping specifications, auto-fitting components like elbows, tees, and gaskets as the line is drawn.
