Case Study: Damen Shipyards Group achieves 3D vessel inspections and reduced travel with Matterport

Damen Shipyards Group Enables Customers to Visualize Vessel Orders in 3D with Matterport, Reducing Site Travel Requirements

Damen Shipyards Group, a global shipbuilder, needed a digital alternative to in-person shipyard visits so customers and internal teams could monitor vessel builds during COVID-19 travel restrictions. The company turned to Matterport and its Pro2 3D Camera to create a more immersive way for customers to review orders and for designers and engineers around the world to collaborate.

Matterport implemented digital twins that let customers inspect vessels in 3D, request changes early, and review progress without traveling to the shipyard. The solution helped reduce travel time and costs, supported business continuity during the pandemic, improved collaboration across design and engineering teams, and gave sales and marketing a new customer acquisition tool.
