The purpose of this study is to improve the efficiency and quality of jacket construction process, and to improve the existing production and development technology of fitting pipe in offshore platform. In this research, the design and construction process of jacket was introduced. Starting from the cutting drawing design of jacket pipe fitting and the realization of numerical control (NC) automatic cutting, the intersecting line calculation and motion simulation method were used to realize the integrated development of computer aided design (CAD) system for jacket pipe fitting cutting design and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) system for cutting and manufacturing. The results showed that the complementary and matching of the two systems was the key to complete the jacket construction. In summary, the CAD/CAM technology for the entire process of jacket pipe fitting cutting from design drawings to production objects can lead to more automated, efficient, and intensive integrated production.
