This beautiful boat received an upgrade, a brand new trailer. And not just any trailer — a custom-built fully welded and perfectly fit one with waterproof hubs. How was this accomplished? Using 3D laser scanning technology.
The primary aim was to perform a complete 3D scan of the 29′ sport boat located near Norfolk, VA. The focus was on capturing the outer hull and underside of the boat up to the waterline. The project also required the scanning of the boat’s trailer and incidental capture of other boat parts.
Mass-produced, on-size-fits-all trailers work for some things, but there are special boats that call for a custom trailer, a trailer that fits like a glove and is built to near military specs. Constructing a trailer like this requires high precision, such as that achieved with 3D laser scanning services. This case study explains the process of such a project, and how it can make a difference with how things are made.
