3D scanning technology introduced into i3 Composites' Palma de Mallorca workshop scans yacht parts with accuracy for precise digital data measurements long before a composite item is actually manufactured, minimizing errors and accelerating time to production and ensuring owners know they can be sure any furniture, fender or other component will fit like a glove.

Refit projects benefit most from this technology, since older vessels rarely include original design files. A quick scan replaces months of manual measuring, giving the team accurate data to manufacture replacement components. Whether restoring a swim ladder or fabricating new dock steps, scanning ensures every piece matches the original vessel geometry precisely.

Scanned data flows straight into CNC machining and prototyping, streamlining production from concept to final composite. The digital files are correlated with the design by engineers before any work is produced, identifying issues in the design phase. The streamlined workflow helps owners to minimize waste, rework, and overall project time ahead of busy Med seasons.

Leveraging 3d scanning technology and its own composites capability, i3 Composites can accurately cater to racing yachts, superyachts, and luxury boats. Each scanned file acts as a base file for any maintenance later as digital archives exist for refits and repairs many years after and provide a point of reference for any captain.

Owners can request a composite scanning consultation before any project begins, allowing i3 Composites to plan material use and timelines with confidence. This proactive step keeps refits and new builds on schedule while ensuring every composite component ordered through the workshop meets exact specifications the first time.
