What I do

Three disciplines, one way of working: every project starts with a precise 3D model that everything else is drawn from.

01 — Modelling

The stack of 2D drawings for the structure department alone

3D modelling & engineering

Drawings, sketches and scans of any kind turned into one integrated Rhino model — then renderings, animations, workshop drawings and CNC data from that same model.

02 — Rhino

Rhinoceros training at Royal Huisman Shipyard

Rhino training & consulting

Authorised Rhino trainer. Custom courses at your location — from Rhino for AutoCAD users to Level I and II — plus scripts that automate and structure your modelling.

From drawing to production

How a typical 2D-to-3D project runs — the service clients ask for most.

  1. 01

    Collect

    Any input will do: DWGs, PDFs, scans or hand sketches from architects, designers and the yard.

  2. 02

    Model

    Everything comes together in one integrated Rhino model — every discipline, in one place.

  3. 03

    Check & visualise

    Clashes are solved on screen. Renderings and animations let the client see the result before anything is built.

  4. 04

    Output

    Workshop drawings to scale, production DWGs, CNC nesting and presentation renders — all from the same model.
