For smooth fabrication of yachts and marine vessels, accurate bending information is essential to form complex curved parts without defects. That's where the integrated bending tools in VisualHull for Rhino deliver major benefits. This guide explores how VisualHull automates bending data generation for error-free production.

Overcoming Tedious Manual Bending Workflows in Marine Fabrication

The double curvature in hull plates, frames, brackets, and stiffeners requires extensive manual work to calculate bending allowances and create templates. Determining the correct inverse bending curves for each part's unique geometry is incredibly time consuming. Mistakes lead to badly distorted or cracked components.

Automated A7 and A9 Bending Reports with VisualHull

VisualHull provides purpose-built tools to extract bending data directly from Rhino models. Just select your parts and run the relevant commands to auto-generate complete A7 and A9 bending reports.

For plates, VisualHull calculates the precise inverse bending line needed to achieve the target 3D shape without defects. For frames, beams, and stiffeners, it derives the sequential bending sequences complete with allowance presets. Updates propagate automatically if models change.

Intelligent Automation for Accurate Marine Bending

VisualHull bending tools incorporate intelligence to optimize, validate, and document bending data:

• Proprietary algorithms rapidly derive accurate bend lines

• Checks identify impossible bends or intolerable distortion

• Forward simulation shows correctly deformed shape

• Detailed printable reports include diagrams and instructions

• Seamless Rhino integration for rapid iterations

• Reduces bending work by over 50% versus manual methods

Boosting Production Quality Through Bending Automation

Clear, accurate bending data is the foundation for glitch-free fabrication. VisualHull eliminates trial-and-error bending through tech-powered automation.

With precise bending models, builders drastically cut rework waste and part scrapping. Assembly fit-up improves as components match CAD geometry. Generated reports provide in-depth documentation for shop floor reference, ensuring bends are executed perfectly.
