Staying at the forefront of Rib design
Scorpion Ribs Ltd have become a world class rib and super yacht tender manufacturer and always strive for perfection. Dragon3D have worked with the team at Scorpion Ribs on a number of projects, where they have required accurate CAD data for a various models where the original CAD models no longer existed or required design modifications. This work was completed as part of major re-design projects that were required not only to enhance the product range, but to help stay at the forefront of rib design and maintain Scorpion Rib’s reputation as world class rib manufacturers.
In a particular example Dragon3D were commissioned to provide 3D optical scanning and reverse engineering services for one of Scorpion Rib’s existing models as the company did not have historical CAD data to assist with the required re-design. Without accurate CAD files the new plugs and moulds would have had to be built by hand, which is a lengthy and labour-intensive process. Having accurate CAD models gave Scorpion Ribs the flexibility to redesign onto their existing hull and deck mould tools, as well as enable them to change and refine new designs to ensure that were a perfect fit first time, whilst maintaining the high level of standard required. Without the hull CAD data, the level of accuracy would have been compromised.
