Webinar: De-Risking Tugboat Engine Mods with handheld 3D scanning

This live webinar details how DotProduct handheld 3D scanning was used by Ship Architects to capture the as-built state of two engines to inform design modifications for the Mount St. Elias tug, and how this work minimized field capture time, ensured completeness of the as-built data, and de-risked downstream engineering design choices. Topics covered (and demoed live) include all of the following and more:
  • The speed and value of handheld 3D data capture for accurate engineering modifications with low-cost hardware.
  • The complete process of scanning Caterpillar 3516 engine mounts using Dot3D Pro software on a DPI-10SR kit.
  • Use of AprilTag targeting and the AccuScale-DP scale bar kit for automatic accuracy improvements in the field.
  • Live data sharing workflows, from the tugboat engine room to the Ship Architects office for real-time QA/QC.
  • The procedure for capturing and georeferencing high-resolution images within the point cloud.
  • Alignment of the point cloud data to ship coordinates and the associated ShipConstructor model.
  • Design modifications to the engine mounts within ShipConstructor.
  • Interference checking and annotation in Autodesk Navisworks.
  • Analysis of the cost, schedule and risk reduction benefits of this handheld 3D scanning workflow.
  • Live Q&A session
The Mount St. Elias is a 95’ (LOA) high tower barge tug servicing the east coast of the United States.  Operated by Kirby Offshore Marine, the vessel was built in 2009 and is powered by two Caterpillar 3516 diesel engines.
