3D Measure Laser Scanning

3D Measure uses Laser Scanners and Total Stations to collect accurate shapes of Hulls, Decks, and marine parts from 1 to 400 meters. 

A typicality measurement can be done in a day, collecting hundreds of millions of points.

Output can be points, lines, mesh, or surfaces in 3dm format.

Ideal for documentation or reverse engineering.

With two decades of experience, 3D Measure has been providing Naval Architects, Marine Engineers, Government Agencies, National  and International and Sailing Authorities, with accurate data documentation. Projects range from racing hulls, pleasure craft, and Navy ships.

Andrew Williams 9/27/2008 by 'Robbie Haines' from Robbie Haines
I have worked with Andrew for over 10 years now and can say without question that he is one of the more knowledgable persons I have worked with in the marine field. His customer service is second to none. He follows through with all that is asked of him and it has been a pleasure working with him on the last two PYEWACKET 3D projects.

Simply the best 3D measurement service we have used! 8/4/2008 by 'Aaron Beiswenger - Naval Architect' from Aaron Beiswenger - Naval Architect
In the field of naval architecture we use 3D measurement services frequently to take as-built dimensions of existing vessels. Our firm has used Andrew's services on numerous occasions, for everything from detailed measurements of finite elements, to complete exterior surface models of vessels over 150' in length. We have found his accuracy and professionalism to be second to none. There are many measurement services out there, but few understand the marine industry and its needs as well as Andrew. We have worked together on many projects over the past 10 years, and in that time I have come to trust his measurements 100 percent. If you need a 3D measurement service, I highly recommend that you call Andrew at 3D Measure. His prices are competitive, and his work has always been excellent.

Measurement Services 7/24/2008 by 'Richard Akers' from Richard Akers
Our firm has used the services of 3D Measure for a number of years, and we have found them to be accurate, reliable and professional at all times. 3D Measure supplies point-cloud measurements of small boats, accurate to one mil. They deliver this information in the form of wireframe and surface models useful in forensic analysis of high-speed boat accidents. In addition to geometry measurements, 3D Measure supplies weight and center of gravity information for these boats. 3D Measure has an inventory of calibrated, highly accurate laser surveying devices that they use for these measurements. They also have a calibrated wireless load cell that is used for a single-pick lift of the recreational boats for accurate weight measurements. I highly recommend the services of 3D Measure.

3D Scanning of Boats 7/24/2008 by 'Jim Teeters' from Jim Teeters
3D Measure and Andrew Williams have consistently demonstrated outstanding expertise and accuracy in measuring the 3D geometry of hulls, keel and rudders. Scanned measurements have been processed in Rhino to create representational surfaces that are used to generate sailboat performance predictions as well as race handicaps under the Offshore Racing Rule. The high quality of 3D Measure's work has significantly improved the quality of those handicaps. An unqualified 5 star rating!
