Digital Solutions for Naval Architecture 3 – Creating Ornamental Half Models

In the third and final part of our Digital Solutions for Naval Architecture blog series, we take a look at how 3D laser scanning technology can be used to create 3D display half hull models of boats and yachts. Why ornamental half models? Originally used by shipyards to communicate design features to vessel owners before […]

Digital Solutions for Naval Architecture 2 – Passenger Ferry Draught Mark Control

In the second part of our Digital Solutions for Naval Architecture blog series, we look at Digital Dry Dock’s recent work on the Isles of Scilly inter-island passenger ferries. Through our services, we were able to ensure the ferries complied with naval architectural standards, maintaining optimum safety for its crew and passengers. Isles of Scilly

Digital Solutions for Naval Architecture 1 – Rapid Delivery of CAD for New Passenger Ferries for St Michael’s Mount

At Digital Dry Dock, we combine naval architecture with the latest digital technologies to significantly reduce project costs, schedules and the time vessels spend in dry dock. Often, our technology removes the need for time spent in dry dock altogether. In our latest blog series, Digital Solutions for Naval Architecture, we share some case studies

Laser Scanning to CAD for Production Boat Builders.

Last month we visited Multimarine, to assist them in creating CAD models for some of their production models. Using our laser scanning capabilities, we were able to reverse engineer existing moulds/boats into useful CAD  models, giving them a starting point to work from when designing modifications and custom features.   Why is reverse engineering necessary?

Using 3D laser scanning for rapid supply of vessel parts

  Global supply, demand and shipping schedules amongst other things can often cause complications when sourcing vessel components. Delays on part arrivals can be frustrating, delaying project timelines or holding up port departure dates. Even more so, being unable to source parts at all can create unwelcome headaches for marine stakeholders, especially when the rest

Case Studies: Stability Analysis on 100ft+ Steel Commercial Vessels

Amongst Digital Dry Dock’s work this year, we have been involved in two exciting refits of 100 ft commercial vessels. Both benefited greatly from 3D digital scanning to assist with refit modifications and create 3D hull models to be used in stability simulation analysis. These projects are excellent examples of how versatile 3D digital scanning
