Enhancing 3D Design, Scanning and Visualisation for Marine Product Innovation - 12185

To remain competitive and improve design efficiency, Amtrim has adopted advanced digital design tools, with Rhino CAD/CAM now central to its design process, alongside 3D scanning technology.

This internship will support the business to fully embed Rhino into day-to-day operations, improving design accuracy, reducing rework, and strengthening how products are visualised and presented to customers.

Project Goals and Objectives

The internship will focus on embedding digital design and visualisation into operations by:  

• Improving design accuracy and reducing manual rework through better use of Rhino CAD/CAM.  
• Shortening lead times from initial concept to approved customer design.  
• Using 3D scanning data to create accurate digital templates for covers and upholstery.  
• Producing 3D visualisations that support clearer customer communication and stronger digital marketing.  
• Training and supporting staff to confidently use Rhino and 3D scanning equipment.  

Scope of Work

The intern will work closely with the production and design team to:  

• Review current design and fabrication workflows.   Develop efficient methods to import 3D scan data into Rhino.  
• Create accurate 2D and 3D design templates for standard and custom marine products.  
• Build a digital design library of reusable models and components.  
• Develop training materials and a practical workflow guide for staff.  
• Produce sample 3D renderings and animations for use in marketing and customer presentations.  

Tools & Technologies:

Rhino 3D (mandatory), 3D scanning hardware and software, digital rendering and visualisation tools, Microsoft Office and Canva (or equivalent) for documentation and presentation materials.

Skills Required  

Essential:

• Proven experience using Rhino 3D within a design or fabrication context

•  

   Confidence producing and modifying 2D and 3D models in Rhino

•  

   Understanding of how 3D scanning data can be used within CAD workflows

Desirable:

• Experience producing visualisations or renders for customer-facing use

•  

  Strong communication skills and ability to produce clear documentation

•  

  Confidence working within a small, hands-on manufacturing environment

Measurable outcomes

• Reduction in design and rework time.  
• Faster turnaround from design concept to customer approval.  
• Increased number and quality of 3D visuals used in digital marketing.
• Improved staff capability and confidence in using Rhino and scanning tools.  

Long-term impact: 

• Stronger digital design capability embedded within the business. 
• Improved customer experience through clearer, more accurate visualisation.  
• A reusable digital asset base supporting future product development.
