BLOM Maritime Case Study: AVEVA E3D for Maritime Laser Scanning
Case study showing how BLOM Maritime integrated AVEVA E3D with laser scanning to improve design accuracy, reduce installation time, and cut material costs in shipbuilding and retrofit projects.
BLOM Maritime, a global provider of 3D laser scanning and engineering services for the maritime sector, implemented AVEVA E3D and LFM Server to manage large point cloud datasets. The solution enabled direct import of scan data into a parameterized 3D design environment, supporting feasibility studies, detailed engineering, and clash detection. Results included 35% reduction in bills of material and 25% shorter installation times on complex retrofit projects such as exhaust gas cleaning systems.
Direct import of laser scan point clouds into AVEVA E3D eliminated manual modeling steps
Parameterized design and HyperBubble visualization improved design review speed
Integration of engineering and design on one platform reduced project cycle time
Bills of material reduced by 35% and installation times cut by 25% on retrofit work
Remote as-built verification supports modular construction across multiple global sites
