Our Reverse Engineering Process
- 3D Laser Scanning: The hull, components, or fittings of the ship or yacht are scanned in high resolution to generate detailed point cloud data.
- Point Cloud Processing and CAD Modeling: Raw data is cleaned and converted into surface and solid models using professional software. The output is made available in formats such as STL, STEP, and IGES.
- Mold and Prototype Preparation: After model validation, necessary data is provided for mold production. Engineering analyses can also be performed for initial sample and prototype manufacturing.
- Quality Control and Compliance Testing: Deviation analyses, GD&T checks, and color-mapped comparisons are performed to ensure the model matches the production data.
Application Areas
- Scanning of composite yacht and boat hulls
- Digitizing parts such as propellers, rudders, engine components
- Testing and modeling before prototype production
- High-precision CAD conversions for mold manufacturing
- Reproduction of parts without technical drawings
- Design of interior fittings and cabin components
What Are the Advantages?
- Detailed digital replication of complex surfaces
- Fast analysis processes that save time and cost
- Improved dimensional accuracy in prototype manufacturing
- High-precision modeling prior to mold production
- Direct integration into CAM/CNC processes with 3D data
- Contactless and safe measurement on fiber and composite surfaces
How Is 3D Scanning Used in Prototype Manufacturing?
Dimensional accuracy of parts is critical before prototype production.
With scanning technology, a detailed 3D model of the physical part is created and transferred into CAD software, where verification and optimization are performed.
This approach ensures maximum efficiency with minimal error in initial production trials.
Fast Service for the Marine Industry Across Turkey
At RE-PROJE, we serve the ship and yacht industry nationwide with our main office in Istanbul and regional offices in Gaziantep, Adana, and Izmir. We stand out with our rapid on-site scanning, technical analysis, and engineering support.
- Which devices do you use for scanning?
We use Scantech Sharp 3D and Faro Focus 3D laser scanning systems to capture highly accurate 3D data.
- Which components other than the hull are suitable for reverse engineering?
Components such as propellers, engine blocks, rudder systems, and interior elements are all suitable for reverse engineering.
- What outputs do you provide for mold manufacturing?
Data obtained from scanning is prepared in CAD formats suitable for mold production (STEP, IGES, STL).
- How do you support prototype manufacturing?
We perform modeling and verification before production. First-sample inspections and deviation analyses ensure the process runs smoothly.
- Which regions of Turkey do you serve?
We provide on-site measurement and technical support throughout Turkey via our Istanbul headquarters and regional offices in Gaziantep, Adana, and Izmir.
