“America’s Cup campaigns are driven in part by innovation, precision and time management, and Creaform helps us in all of these areas, Creaform’s 3D measurement technology, combined with the determined onsite work of their team, is a significant competitive edge for American Magic”
Creaform will help American Magic to create and verify and collaborate on innovative 3D designs and parts for its racing boats. The company’s innovative solutions will help with turnaround times and schedules which are two critical factors considering the races are very close.

In this facility, the team is working with team’s designers and builders to apply 3D scanning and modeling technologies.
