- Discover the transformative potential of 3D measurement and scanning for ship owners.
- From accurate equipment health checks to streamlined design optimization and upgrade planning, this advanced technology provides valuable insights, saving time and costs.
Measurement technology has evolved significantly, offering ship owners precise insights beyond traditional metrics. 3D measurements not only capture length, height, and width but also reveal critical information about shape and position, empowering ship owners to make informed decisions.
What is 3D Measurement and Scanning?
3D measurement involves capturing data about physical objects in three dimensions, including shape and geometry. Experts employ non-destructive methods such as laser lights and physical probes to gather this data, providing comprehensive insights.
Performing 3D Measurement and Scanning
- Laser with Physical Probe: The most accurate method for measuring equipment like propellers.
- 3D Scanners: Compact solutions covering millions of points, suitable for equipment such as propellers.
- Full Hull or Thruster Room Scanning: Provides a comprehensive view, aiding in design and fit assessments, especially during drydocking.
Benefits of 3D Measurement and Scanning
- Health Checks: Ensure equipment condition during overhauls, aiding in the identification of damaged or out-of-spec components.
- Design Optimization: Provide data for hydrodynamic modeling, facilitating ship design improvements and energy-saving technology integration.
- Upgrade Planning: Streamline complex upgrades by ensuring new parts fit seamlessly, reducing downtime and costs.
