Tall Ship 3D Scan Data into a CAD Model with 3D Systems Geomagic and FARO

In 2012, engineer Christian Stark took his family on a sailing trip around the San Juan Islands in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State, and fell in love with the 90 year-old 127 foot Tall Ship, the Schooner Zodiac. On a second cruise as volunteer crew, Christian was discussing the ship's sailing performance and the skipper noted that the ship's performance on a portside tack to a starboard tack were perceptibly different. In addition, the skipper mentioned to Christian additional port side structural damage that had been repaired in an earlier renovation. This webinar will showcase how the FARO Focus 3D scanner and Geomagic Design X helped Christian turn this ship into a fully-functioning CAD solid model.
