Requiring precision assembly in tough industrial environments, components used in shipbuilding and naval engineering must be verified against design specifications to ensure proper fit.
Providing a fast and accurate way to inspect ship parts and components during boat construction, portable 3D measurement solutions from FARO®, such as the FARO Laser Tracker, can be used to install components directly to the ship itself. Digitizing hulls and existing conditions, 3D laser scanning solutions from FARO allow for the capture of 3D as-built documentation for repair or restoration.
Status quo survey
- Applications
– Corrosion of ship shells, contacting with sea water, river water details.
– Level of surface damage (ship shell, propeller …)
– Determining the area and optimizing the layout of components in port and anchorage areas.
- Benefits
– Full, accurate captured in detail data to ease damage detection and planning timely, quick and effective repair.
3D Modeling
- Applications
– Clash checking during istalation and upgrade. For example: water ballast treatment system (IMO compliance) supplement.
– Building quality inspection through each stage of construction and manufacture.
– Reverse engineering and design improvements.
– Evaluating and comparing the actual status with the ship original design.
– Project supervising and schedule reporting
- Benefits
– Building quality inspection through each stage of construction and manufacture.
– Easy to evaluate and compare the actual status with respect to the ship original design.
– Project progress follow-up and report is quick, complete and accurate performed.
Management, operation and maintenance
- Applications
– Maintenance, repair, upgrade
- Benefits
– Based on scanned data, may perform technical enhancements by adding,cutting… parts to optimize space or improve work efficiency
