The use of laser scanning in ship building is to capture large and complex structure in ships for installation or reverse engineering. For dimension accuracy in fabricating parts and machinery to allow fitting in with high precision.

Surface model can be created to calculate the surface area, collision detection, even structure deformation and surface flatness.

Cost and effort can be reduced drastically with efficient and accuracy data set

The dataset can be set to be used for many purposes and for future development, analysis and comparision over the years

The data set can also be easily transfer to any bodies overseas for studies, design and analytics processing, without having physical visit to site
