📚 Course structure
- SP3D environment and project setup — Workspace, permission groups, plant hierarchy and how a project database is organised.
- Catalogs and specifications — Spec-driven design, catalog parts, bolt and gasket rules, and what breaks when a spec is wrong.
- Equipment placement — Placing and editing equipment, nozzles, maintenance envelopes and coordinate control.
- Pipe routing — Route by spec, auto and manual routing, slope lines, branching and insulation.
- Valves, instruments and specialty items — Inline components, instrument hook-ups and specialty item handling.
- Pipe supports — Standard and custom supports, support placement rules and load transfer to structure.
- Structure and interference — Basic structural interface, clash detection and interference checking workflow.
- Drawings and isometrics — Orthographic drawing extraction, isometric generation and annotation standards.
- Reports and MTO — Bill of materials and material take-off extraction and reconciliation.
- Project practice — A guided unit model from P&ID to issued isometrics and MTO.
🧮 3D-LABS calculators and software you will use
Every module is taught against real design sheets from our library of 680+ engineering calculators and our in-house software (PIPE Master, DRAFTY) — you keep access to them and can use them on the job from day one.
- Pipe wall thickness and spec break check
- Line sizing and pressure drop
- Pipe span and support spacing
- Flange rating and bolt torque
- Insulation thickness selection
- MTO and BOM reconciliation sheet
- Nozzle orientation and elevation check
- Clash and access clearance checklist
🖥 Tools, codes and standards covered
SmartPlant 3D / S3D workflows, ASME B31.3 and B16 series, project piping specifications and isometric drafting standards.
📦 What is included
- Certificate of completion issued by 3D-LABS
- Lifetime access to course notes and session recordings
- Working calculators and templates used in class
- A guided mini-project with reviewed deliverables
- Doubt-clearing support with the trainer after the batch ends
🎯 What you can do after this course
Model a complete piping unit in SP3D to spec, run interference checks, and extract isometrics, orthographic drawings and MTO that a contractor can build from.

About SP3D / SmartPlant 3D Piping Modelling Training
SP3D / SmartPlant 3D Piping Modelling Training is a 3D-LABS Software Mastery course designed for engineers wanting hands-on mastery of industry-standard engineering software. By the end of this course, you will be able to produce production-quality output in the software from day one on a real project. The course combines live-cohort sessions (weekends) with self-paced material available 24/7.
Who SP3D / SmartPlant 3D Piping Modelling Training is for
SP3D / SmartPlant 3D Piping Modelling Training is designed for:
- Early-career engineers wanting to accelerate practical skills in the topic.
- Experienced engineers moving into a new domain or refreshing their working knowledge.
- Team leads wanting to level-set junior team members on a specific skill.
- Students preparing for professional roles in the discipline.
What is included
- Live-cohort sessions — weekend sessions with the instructor, 2 hours each, recorded for those who cannot attend live.
- Self-paced modules — recorded lessons, exercises, and reference material available 24/7 in your account.
- Project-based assessment — real-project deliverable at the end, not a multiple-choice quiz.
- Certificate of completion — verifiable online at 3d-labs.com/verify.
- 12 months of access — pace yourself, revisit material anytime within the access window.
- Access to spreadsheet library — course-relevant subset of the 621 3D-LABS engineering spreadsheets included at no extra cost.

Frequently asked questions
How is SP3D / SmartPlant 3D Piping Modelling Training delivered?
SP3D / SmartPlant 3D Piping Modelling Training combines live-cohort sessions with self-paced material. Live sessions run on weekends (2 hours, IST time zone) and are recorded for those who cannot attend live. Self-paced material — recorded lessons, exercises, and reference documents — is available in your account 24/7.
What is the course duration?
Typical duration: 6 weeks. You have 12 months of access from purchase, so you can pace yourself. Live cohort sessions run in defined 6 week windows — you can join the current cohort or wait for the next one.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. After completing all lessons and passing the final assessment (typically a project deliverable, not a multiple-choice quiz), you receive a certificate of completion from 3D-LABS. The certificate is verifiable online at 3d-labs.com/verify.
Who teaches the course?
Courses are taught by senior 3D-LABS engineers with 10-20+ years of industry experience. Instructor bios are on the course page. This is applied engineering practice from working engineers, not academic theory.
What if the course does not meet my expectations?
7-day satisfaction guarantee. If you have attended the first live session or completed the first module of self-paced material and are not satisfied, email us within 7 days for a full refund. After 7 days, refunds are pro-rated based on material accessed.
