The solution for Boat Covers

The solution for Boat Covers
Each boat cover is customization. This means that a boat cover must be measured accurately before
it can be replaced. Instead of two persons, cutting plastic foil in bad weather circumstances, the
Proliner® offers the ideal solution. Using this solution, the boat cover can be measured within a
short time frame. It does not matter where your boat is located; with the Proliner® you can make
measurements anywhere. The Proliner® is also weather-resistant, so measurements can be perfectly
done summer as well as winter. All measurements are directly converted into a digital DXF CAD file
which can be edited accordingly.
To ensure efficiency and accuracy in measuring boat covers, Prodim has developed a complete
measurement solution. This solution consists of the Proliner®, advanced software and the Prodim
Plotter. All measurement obstacles will be overcome using this combination.
The measurement solution for boat covers
In addition to boat covers, the principle of 3D measurement and the conversion into a 2D drawing
for further processing are also used for slip covers, protective covers and tarpaulins.
New! In addition to the Proliner, Prodim offers also the IPT (Inverted Pen Technology) and the Hook
Pen. Using the IPT, it is now even easier to measure hard to reach points, such as points located on
the outside of the boat edge. The great advantage of this is that the measuring device does not
need to be moved. The Hook Pen allows you to measure tubular frames, such as bimini tops, simply
and quickly.

easily and quickly with the Proliner®!
Measuring with the Proliner ® principle:
1. Place the Proliner® on the boat
The Proliner® is placed at a central position on the boat.
2. Determine the design to be measured
This step determines what needs to be measured. By defining
reference points, the final result of the design is visualized.

3. Measure tubes
With the new tool, the Hook Pen, it is possible to measure the outside
of tubes.
4. Measure the boat edge and the windshield
Then the boat edge is measured precisely with the IPT . The windshield
is measured on those points to which the tubular frame is stretched.
5.Consider any obstacles
For each measurement object, there are obstacles which have to
be taken into account for the production. Possible obstacles should
therefore be visible in the drawing.

around obstacles
6. Edit the drawing in CAD
The measurements are readily available as a DXF file. Using the
software 3D drawings are converted into 2D drawings in CAD, after
which seams, zippers, overlap and gaps can be added.
7. Cut or plot drawings
As soon as the DXF drawing is ready for production, it can be cut by
each CNC machine or plot on canvas by means of the Prodim Plotter.
