To digitally document and preserve the design, construction, and details of a traditional yacht. The project ensures accurate records for restoration, maintenance, and historical preservation while enabling modern applications such as refits, class approvals, or digital showcases.
Process
- Survey & Scanning
- High-resolution 3D laser scanning and drone photogrammetry performed on the yacht’s exterior and interior.
- Capture of fine details including woodwork, deck layouts, masts, rigging points, and structural geometry.
- Data Processing
- Creation of an accurate 3D point cloud of the vessel.
- Conversion into CAD-ready geometry for naval architecture and engineering purposes.
- Modeling & Documentation
- Development of digital 3D models of hull, superstructure, and interior arrangements.
- Generation of technical drawings: General Arrangement (GA), lines plans, and construction details.
- High-quality renders for visualization and owner communication.
- Archival & Digital Twin
- Creation of a digital twin of the yacht for long-term documentation.
- Secure storage for use in future repairs, refits, or class compliance.
Applications & Benefits
- Restoration Support: Accurate documentation of existing geometry for traditional boatyards and craftsmen.
- Regulatory Compliance: Provides precise plans required for class societies and authorities.
- Heritage Preservation: Ensures traditional yachts are digitally preserved for future generations.
- Design Modifications: Simplifies refit design and modern equipment integration while respecting original aesthetics.
- Owner Engagement: 3D visuals and renders offer immersive understanding for owners and stakeholders.
Deliverables
- Complete 3D CAD model of hull, deck, and interior.
- 2D drawings (GA, lines, sections, details).
- Photo-realistic renders for owner presentations.
- Digital twin stored for archival and future use.
This project format can be tailored depending on whether it’s for:
- Private owners (heritage preservation)
- Shipyards (refits & modifications)
- Museums & cultural institutions (archival & research)
