ALL ABOARD THE CATALINA EXPRESS!

The Catalina Express is a year-round passenger ferry service that takes the good people of SoCal from the ports of Long Beach, San Pedro & Dana Point to the iconic island of Catalina, located just 22 miles off the coast. Catalina Express, started in 1981, is now equipped with 8 high speed vessels that take passengers to Catalina in under an hour, offering a quick & easy getaway. With offering such a great service, maintenance and repair are essential for the safety of their passengers and crew. In oder to speed up this process, they called us to do a full 3D scan of the entire hull of one of their 200 passenger vessels.

FAST & EASY 3D LASER SCANNING SOLUTIONS

Equipped with our Faro Focus 3D, we strategically placed targets and scanning points around the exterior of the ship and underneath the hull. In a matter of hours, we had a completed 3D pointcloud model. With the data and model we gave them, the folks at Catalina Express were able to successfully complete their maintenance & repairs up to Coast Guard standards and was back out on the water in no time.
