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?
