Boat 3D Scanning Services

Stockcode:

There are many uses for 3D scanning boats. Let’s look at the top 5 reasons why boat owners are utilising our 3D scanning services;

1. 3D scanning boats captures the many complex surfaces and measurements quickly and accurately. Trying to achieve this using traditional methods would take weeks. Having such reliable data makes boat refits and repairs much more uncomplicated.

2. 3D Scans for refits and repairs are very popular. You can create exact measurements of the existing space. When your ordering bespoke parts and fittings you will know they will fit perfectly the first time.

3. 3D scanning the hull of a yacht enables designers to simulate the design’s performance in the water—valuable information for racing yacht designers.

4. Many old boats that are currently on the water have no drawings. Drawings are useful for refits, repairs and insurance purposes. A 3D scan of a vessel can provide a detailed blueprint of the boat’s actual condition within the house.

5. 3D Scans are perfect for recording data on historic vessels, as it is a non-contact method of recording data. 3D scans enable historians to create an exact blueprint of historic ships, allowing the creation of 3d printed models.
We also offer 3D scanning for cars, motorbikes & aerospace clients.

Surface Scan

Great first experience with SurfaceScan. Communication with Angela throughout the process was top notch. I sent the guys 3 small intricate items for SLS printing and the quality is outstanding. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. I will definitely be back in the future and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anybody. Thanks a lot guys.

Wanted a one-off cap for an old and brittle plastic housing holding the electric motor on an obsolete Silent Gliss curtain track. This had been broken during building work. No spares anywhere on the internet. Surface Scan were able to scan what remained and reverse engineer a part that allowed re-connection of the motor to the track, saving us the cost of replacing all three matching tracks. Friendly service talking me through the whole process.

Not used a 3D printing service before but Angela and team answered our questions and helped us get just what we needed. We're now able to put good-as-the-original feet back on our mum's classic 1970's scandi dining chairs. Thanks Angela!
