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 […]

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

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
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?

Amongst our recent work, Digital Dry Dock has been working with Geoquip Marine to survey one of their drilling vessels – MV Investigator. With the creation of 3D digital twins, Geoquip now has up to date and accurate data on the weather deck, drilling tower and interior of the ship. This will enable them to repurpose

Launching Digital Dry Dock at a time where the world was full of uncertainty and the maritime sector was facing a whole range of challenges was arguably a risk. However, we were certain that what we could offer through our laser scanning technologies was something long overdue in the industry. Twelve months later and we’re

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
