Eltink Engineering

   
With the upcoming of computer aided design and manufacturing, Eltink Scheeps- en Jachtwerf switched to CAD/CAM produced building kits for it`s hull`s and superstuctures. Previously this engineering work was subcontracted to third parties. In 2000 the yard started its own engineering deparment with experienced and highly skilled engineers. Ever since Eltink Engineering produces its own computer aided designed and produced building kits, often working in close relationship with some of the world`s leading naval architects. Eltink Engineering consists of a highly skilled and dynamic team. Its profound knowledge of engineering ensures an efficient building process and an excellent start for the construction of a top-quality yacht.

In addition to our own engineering projects, we also provide engineering services to other shipyards. Eltink`s engineers have years of experience with a wide variety of vessels and projects for varios clients. These projects include a diversity of ship types, like small yachts, mega yachts, (both sailing- and motor yachts), workships, cargo and passenger vessels and coasters.

Our engineering services cover most of the phases of the engineering stage. This starts with accurate fairing of the lines plan. Detailed construction drawings are drawn, scale 1:1, on the faired linesplan. The seams and butts in the shell plating are determined and the expansions and bending information are generated. Next all plate and profile parts are coded and nested in plates and standard profile lengths. This data is converted in cutting code for CNC cutting and plate- and profile shaping. Together we can supply all parts ready to be assembled right on your doorstep. Apart from complete projects, our engineering department provides its clients with support, regardless of how complicated the project is, or the extent of the help required.

We constantly analyse and try to improve the building process. Our extensive knowledge of marine engineering and building enables us to meet the expectations. We work flexibly in accordance with client specifications, so that generated data can be reused throughout the project..

Our department uses the latest AutoCad. For marine engineering we use ShipConstructor. For shape definition, fairing and 3D-modelling we use Fastship and Rhino.
