[ Service 01 — Modelling ]

3D modelling & engineering.

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

For: Shipyards · yacht builders · interior makers
Input: DWG · PDF · scans · hand sketches
Output: 3D model · renders · drawings · CNC data

Integrated 3D concept model of the Ecolution, a 77-foot schooner — Fig. 01 — EcolutionAll disciplines in one model

[ What I offer ]

One model, six outputs

Every service draws on the same precise 3D model — so nothing has to be drawn twice.

01
Integrated 3D concept models
“The power of seeing it all together.” Structure, systems, interior and deck in one model, so architects, designers and the yard work from a single source.

From 2D drawings to 3D models
2D information of any kind — digital drawings, PDFs, scanned hand sketches — transformed into an accurate 3D model. Almost every project starts here.

03
Photo-realistic rendering
Renderings in Rhino and V-Ray that let clients see materials and light before anything is built. Most images on this site that look like photos are renderings.

04
Animation
A lot of design has to do with motion. Simple things like a swinging door or a sliding drawer can make a big difference — almost every project contains animations.

05
Translation to CNC production
Rhino is not just a tool for pretty pictures. Parts are nested and laid out for CNC routers and plasma cutters straight from the model.

06
Workshop drawings to scale
The workshop floor needs simple printed drawings with measurements. All 2D information is extracted from the 3D model — the same precision, far easier to read.

A typical clash found in the 3D model before production — Fig. 02 — Royal HuismanA typical clash

[ Why a model pays off ]

Find the clash on screen, not in production

When every department works from its own stack of 2D drawings, clashes are inevitable. In a 3D model they are easy to spot and cheap to fix — in production they are very expensive.
