At RB Marine Covers, marine upholstery has always been about getting the details right. Every seat, cushion, and interior trim needs to fit properly, perform in harsh marine conditions, and look the part.
Over the years, we have seen how traditional methods can slow things down and leave room for small inconsistencies. That is why we have invested in digital pattern making technology, combining Proliner measurement, 3D scanning, and Gerber CAD cutting to improve both accuracy and efficiency across every job.
Moving beyond traditional templating
Manual templating has long been part of the trade. It works, but it takes time and relies heavily on repeated adjustments to get the fit right.
We wanted a better way to deliver consistent results, especially across more complex vessels and custom layouts. Digital pattern making allows us to capture exact measurements from the start, reducing the need for rework and speeding up the entire process.
Capturing precision with Proliner and 3D scanning
Using Proliner, we take highly accurate digital measurements directly from your boat. This allows us to map curves, angles, and unique shapes with precision, even in areas that are difficult to template manually.
We also use 3D scanning where needed to ensure no detail is missed. This is especially important when working on custom interiors or vessels where nothing is standard.
The result is a digital pattern that reflects the true shape of your boat, not an approximation.
Consistent results with Gerber CAD cutting
Once the pattern is created, it is transferred into our CAD system and cut using Gerber technology. This gives us clean, consistent cuts every time and helps reduce material waste.
It also allows us to maintain accuracy across repeat jobs or larger projects, where consistency is just as important as fit.
What this means for your boat
By combining these technologies, we are able to offer a more refined result across all our marine upholstery work.
You will notice:
- A more precise fit across seating, covers, and trims
- Faster turnaround times from measurement to installation
- Cleaner finishes with better alignment and stitching
- Less need for adjustments after installation
It also gives us the flexibility to take on more detailed and custom work without compromising on quality.
Backed by experience, not just technology
While the tools we use have evolved, the foundation of our work remains the same. Every project is still guided by hands-on experience, material knowledge, and a focus on long-term performance in marine environments.
Technology simply allows us to do it better, with greater accuracy and consistency.
Built for better marine upholstery
At RB Marine Covers, digital pattern making with Proliner and 3D scanning, combined with Gerber CAD cutting, is now part of how we deliver our marine upholstery solutions.
From custom seating and cushions to full interior trims, this approach ensures every piece is designed to fit properly, perform well, and stand up to the conditions your boat is exposed to.
If you are looking to upgrade or refresh your boat’s interior, our team is ready to help you achieve a result that looks right and fits the way it should. Contact us today!
