蓝色大理石海军陆战队, an Australian firm who provides laser scanning and reverse engineering of marine structures and equipment recently acquired theLeica RTC360 LT3D激光扫描仪通过减少在现场捕获船体船体，上层建筑和海上设备等海洋结构所需的时间来提高生产率。
Blue Marble Marine专门针对寻求澳大利亚海事安全管理局合规（AMSA）的建筑商和海军建筑师的扫描和建模船。电子表面模型还可以用于各种其他应用，包括船体或上层建筑，重建，构建监控质量保证和损坏维修。他们的客户依靠蓝色大理石海洋来提供准确的3D型号，用于网格创建的点云和有限元分析（FEA），基本的静水计算，线条计划和全尺寸图。
Matthew Morgan, owner and operator of Blue Marble Marine has been part of the industry for 30 years and is no stranger to Leica Geosystems – Morgan has been an owner of the Leica TC703 total station for approximately 15 years. The TC703 has been used to scan at least 200 boats and still functions as a way to document the alignment of propulsion and rudder shafts.
Over the years as the leisure boats have become larger, Morgan has found himself spending more time on site and needed a quicker solution that wouldn’t require a two-person operation.
Unmatched speed
Morgan与澳大利亚Leica Geosystems分销商的C.R. Kennedy联系，将RTC360 LT激光扫描仪进行测试。在演示期间，为了确定借助RTC360的帮助，C.R. Kennedy的软件应用工程师Morgan和Jennifer Ludwig同时同时扫描了一艘50英尺的船。路德维希（Ludwig）使用了RTC360 LT，Morgan使用了他的传统方法TC703总站。结果并不奇怪。路德维希（Ludwig）能够比摩根（Morgan）更快地扫描船，后者也必须依靠另一个人。鉴于每秒高达100万点的尺寸和高级高动力范围（HDR）成像系统，摩根很明显，RTC360 LT将使他在更传统的方法上具有生产力优势。
Another prerequisite important to Morgan was an instrument that was simple enough to use without being a trained surveyor - thanks to the one-button operation the RTC360 LT ticked the box. While the instrument needs to be fit for purpose, it also needs to be easily integrated into the existing workflow. “Our workflow involves capturing existing boat hulls and superstructures, as points, and then creating best fit surfaces to these points. Almost all our work involves curved surfaces and the resulting surface model is then be used to perform hydrostatic analysis by naval architects or for interior fit-out by boat builders,” said Morgan.
Under guidance by Ludwig, Morgan was able to easily incorporate the RTC360 LT in the current workflow to create 3D models in Rhinoceros® (Rhino) and deliver the 3D surface models to naval architects. Due to the ample data that is captured by the RTC360 LT, Morgan can deliver the point cloud to the naval architects as well as a 2D or 3D CAD file. Having the ability to provide additional images to the client at the same time is another bonus and added value Morgan can offer especially for record-keeping and damage insurance claims.
拥抱技术
由于船舶建设和海洋行业对摩根进行了3D激光扫描，因此拥有最新技术确保了他处于该行业的最前沿，并且可以超越和以外向客户提供信息。削减在网站上花费的时间意味着摩根可以将时间集中在对客户真正重要的可交付成果上。“In addition to our industry adopting 3D laser scanners, as a service provider the best way we can service our clients is by providing the right results - our clients rely on us to provide them with information that is useful,” said Morgan.
让此举获得最新的3 d激光scanning technology, Morgan had this to say, “If we can do it, anyone can. It was time to take the plunge.”
