Constructing a yacht, in our opinion, does not merely involve the transferring of boat designs received from naval architects and structural engineers to the shop-floor. Conversely, DK Yachts offers the exclusive opportunity to utilise the unique combination of fully integrated digital mock-up technology and precise NC-controlled milling of moulds.

Handled by its designers with a wide experience in composite structures, yacht design and manufacturing, the DK team first shapes and simulates the components on the computer, running CATIA, one of the high-end 3D-CAD systems. The team design complex free form surfaces, convert design drawings and develop solutions to problems.

Once satisfied with form, fit and function, single components of the virtual yacht are then used to create the milling programmes for mould making. Free-form shaped faces, highly integrated parts reducing the heavy joints and remarkable accuracy offers unprecedented  advantages for production boats as well as one-offs.
