The Role of 3D Laser Scanning and 3D Modeling in Marine Industry

services

In the maritime sector, precise data on the state of ships and marine structures is vital for engineering projects. 3D laser scanning and 3D Modelling are transforming the maritime industry, enabling marine service providers to acquire highly accurate real-world data on marine surroundings, vessels, and structures.

This surge in the adoption of 3D laser scanning services, coupled with advanced 3D modeling, has offered a comprehensive solution for various applications within the marine industry. These applications include shipbuilding, maintenance, repair, retrofitting, and more. These innovative technologies have gained prominence due to their ability to tackle the intricate demands of marine vessels and effectively address the challenges posed by their operational environments. The combined use of 3D laser scanning and 3D modeling not only provides precise measurements and representations of ships and structures but also enhances the efficiency and safety of marine engineering projects, ultimately leading to more reliable and cost-effective solutions.The marine industry desperately needs cutting-edge technologies like 3D laser scanning for a variety of new duties, even in the absence of new environmental regulations.

One of the most common applications of 3D laser scanning and modeling services in the marine industry is shipbuilding. Marine vessels are complex and require precise measurements to ensure their safe and efficient operation. 3D laser scanning technology can be used to capture accurate measurements of the vessel, allowing for the creation of a detailed 3D model. This model can be used to design and plan the construction of the vessel, reducing design time and cost, as well as improving project efficiency and accuracy.

Another application of 3D laser scanning and modeling services in the marine industry is maintenance, repair, and retrofitting. Marine vessels are subject to harsh environments and wear and tear, which can cause damage and reduce their lifespan. 3D laser scanning technology can be used to capture accurate measurements of the vessel, allowing for the detection of potential issues before they become major problems. This can help reduce downtime and maintenance costs, as well as improve worker safety.

In addition to shipbuilding and maintenance, repair, and retrofitting, 3D laser scanning and modeling services can also be used for design and planning purposes in the marine industry. Marine vessels are subject to strict regulations and requirements, and 3D laser scanning technology can be used to ensure compliance with these regulations. The technology can also be used to plan and design modifications and upgrades to existing vessels, improving their efficiency and lifespan.

Overall, 3D laser scanning to 3D modeling services have become a valuable tool in the marine industry, providing accurate measurements, time-saving benefits, and cost-effective solutions for shipbuilding, maintenance, repair, retrofitting, and design purposes.

"Aries offers comprehensive 3D laser scanning and modelling services, For FPSO FSRUS, this technology can be particularly beneficial in the oil and gas industry, where accurate and detailed scans are crucial for maintenance, safety assessments, and modifications. Similarly, in refurbishment projects, having precise 3D models of existing structures or spaces can streamline the planning and execution processes, ensuring that renovations or modifications align seamlessly with the existing layout.

Your expertise in providing these services can significantly enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize errors for your clients"

Aries offers comprehensive 3D laser scanning and modelling services to convert the as built hull conversion to the 3D model or generation of as built lines plan.

we offer services for the feasibility study and class installation of equipment’s and pipes. We provide as built isometric drawing for the pre fabrication of pipes spools.

Aries has many years of experience in providing 3D scanning services to the industry. 3D scanning of relevant areas enables the client to keep this required information ready for quick take-off as soon as a final decision on installation of the system is taken. Aries uses an advanced laser 3D Scanner for generating the as-built data. All necessary areas will be scanned by the 3D laser scanner and the generated point cloud will be used to evaluate and verify the different installation layouts. When the equipment to be installed is finalized by the Ship owner, based on our feasibility report and commercial considerations, we move to the design stage. The detailed schematics and drawings will be prepared for approval by the classification society. Fabrication spool drawings are prepared subsequently for issue to shop floor.
