Your projects brought to life
—
Imagine owning a full color, museum quality scale model of the pride of your fleet! The use of 3D printing opens up a world of possibilities to showcase your vessels’ capabilities to corporate visitors and to potential clients.
Whether it be an impressive show model or small test parts for engineering studies, B3D’s computer designers and 3D assembly crews achieve a 100% level of fine detail. We work with your blueprints and engineering data to validate your designs before you even begin ship construction, taking guesswork out of the equation.
B3D Design is already renowned in the offshore industry for our amazing, lifelike animations. Please contact us to learn how we can transform your ideas into 3D-printed reality. We’d love to hear from you by email at info@b3d-design.com. Let’s start building together!
Bringing 3D to the real World
In addition to creating 3D models and animations on screen, we have acquired a new, large scale printer to create models whose dimensions exceed those of what most printers can achieve. What’s more, the intricacy of the high definition detail brings an unexpected level of realism to the product. Potential industrial applications may involve product prototyping, demonstrations or test models. Today’s top engineers all agree that a hands on 3D creation gives more than an extra dimension to their designs.
Swan
Het Swan-project is een ander volledig 3D-geprint scheepsmodel, ontwikkeld met een sterke focus op precisie, structurele details en presentatiekwaliteit. Vanwege de grotere afmetingen en de aanwezigheid van torenconstructies en diverse complexe elementen, vereiste het project een uitgebreid productie- en assemblageproces.
Van digitale voorbereiding tot de uiteindelijke fabricage werd elk onderdeel zorgvuldig geproduceerd om nauwkeurigheid en consistentie in het hele model te garanderen. De schaal en complexiteit van de structuur vereisten gedetailleerde planning, precieze uitlijning van componenten en een hoog niveau van vakmanschap tijdens zowel het printen als de nabewerking. Het eindresultaat is een zeer gedetailleerd pronkstuk dat de technische en visuele kenmerken van het originele schip weerspiegelt.
Calypso
We proudly present the fully 3D-printed model of the ship Calypso, which now stands in the client’s offices.
The model was carefully developed, detailed, and produced to true scale to accurately represent the design and structure of the ship. From digital modeling to final fabrication, the project combined precision, engineering, and large-format 3D printing to create a striking showpiece for the client’s space.
Pioneer Spirit
The Pioneer Spirit project presented a completely different challenge. Although this model was also designed and 3D-printed at full scale, its much smaller size of approximately 22 cm required an even higher degree of precision during production and assembly.
Due to the compact dimensions and fine details, the assembly process became significantly more delicate and complex. Every part had to be carefully prepared, aligned, and finished to ensure accuracy while simultaneously maintaining the integrity of the final product. Despite the small scale, the project required the same level of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and technical execution as a much larger model.
The future
3D printing, although experiencing quite rapid advancements, is still a relatively young invention, and its applications are rather broad. It might turn out to be just a novelty, or it could be here to stay, evolving into a device that everyone will have in their homes within the next few years. We never know what the future will bring, but B3D for one has already become specialized in the processes and workings of 3D printing. As in everything we do, B3D is committed to being ready for any challenges in the exciting future of technology!
