3D SCANNING

Our inhouse scanning team use state-of-the-art equipment to 0.1mm accuracy. Scanning can take place onsite or inhouse – whatever works for the customer. Scanning is used extensively in design and fabrication application to ensure accuracy. Bowmaster’s design engineers are able to reverse engineer a broad range of components and systems from scanning. 

MODULE FABRICATION

Bowmaster specialises in module build for quick and easy install into the hull for weldment installation only. Systems can be built and tested on site as a component of the hull. They are then delivered to the shipyard as a working unit for simple low risk installation.

Titanium is a high strength, medium density, corrosion-resistant alloy. Equipment properly fabricated from Titanium alloys can handle extremely corrosive applications, are very well suited to marine environments, especially when weight saving is critical. It is resistant to pitting, crevice and stress corrosion, reducing or oxidizing environments, Bowmaster’s reputation for exceptional fabrication of reactive metals lies in its experience, proven ability and high degree of personalised customer service.
