Custom Made Spare Parts

3D Scanning

Advanced 3D Scanning for Precise Digital Models of Obsolete Ship Spare Parts

We start by 3D scanning the obsolete ship spare part using advanced laser and structured light technologies. This captures the precise geometry of the part, creating a detailed 3D digital model. Our team ensures every angle and surface is accurately scanned.

The scanner emits laser beams or structured light patterns that reflect off the part’s surface, creating a point cloud or mesh. This data is then processed by our specialized software to create a precise digital representation of the part.

This digital model forms the foundation for developing a CAD model and manufacturing the part as per the maker’s standard. Accurate scanning is crucial for solving the problem of finding obsolete parts.

Reverse Engineering

Precise Reverse Engineering for Accurate CAD Models of Obsolete Ship Spare Parts

Our team processes the 3D scan data to convert it into a usable format. This involves cleaning and refining the raw data using specialized software to remove noise and fill gaps. We aim to produce a clean, accurate 3D model ready for CAD conversion.

Using the processed scan data, our engineers create a detailed CAD model. We use advanced CAD software to generate a parametric model that accurately represents the scanned part. This model is fully editable for modifications and further analysis.

Design verification ensures the CAD model accurately represents the original part. We compare the CAD model with the original scan data to check for discrepancies, making necessary adjustments. The goal is to maintain the integrity of the reverse engineering process.

Manufacturing

Cutting-Edge Manufacturing Techniques for High-Quality Custom Parts

Once the CAD model is verified, we prepare for manufacturing the part. This involves selecting appropriate techniques such as CNC machining, 3D printing, casting, and welding, based on the part’s requirements. Our engineers create detailed manufacturing plans and toolpaths to guide the production process.

With manufacturing plans in place, we execute the process using selected techniques. CNC machining may be used to cut and shape the part, while 3D printing can create it layer by layer. Casting involves preparing molds and pouring molten material, and welding joins parts together.

Quality control measures ensure the part meets all standards. Regular inspections, measurements, and tests verify the part’s specifications and tolerances. The output is a physical part matching the CAD model, ready for testing, assembly, or use.

Quality Assurance

Comprehensive Quality Testing for Reliable and Accurate Replacement Spare Parts

After manufacturing, we perform quality checks to ensure the part meets all specifications. This includes dimensional inspections, material testing, and functional tests. We measure the part’s dimensions and compare them to the CAD model for accuracy.

Material testing verifies the part’s composition and properties. Functional tests ensure it operates correctly and reliably. Quality checks are critical for ensuring the part performs as expected.

The final product is delivered to the vessel, installed immediately, and the equipment is restored to working condition, continuing operation. Our process saves ship owners money by avoiding the need to replace complete equipment, offering a fast turnaround with our specialized team.
