Dannebrog,
The danish
royal yacht

Client: Kongernes Samling
Collaboration: KulturhHåndværket and Bæk & Madsen
Project: 1:1 copy of the Danish Royal Yacht
Size: 7m tall x 13,5 m long

 

A 1:1 lightweight structure of the bow from the 78-meter-long Royal Yacht Dannebrog for a special exhibition at Koldinghus Museum.

The first thing visitors encounter at the entrance to the exhibition at Koldinghus is the 3-story-high bow.

The bow is placed on the floor in the beautiful Hall of Ruins and rises over 3 stories, with the bowsprit extending across the walkway.

It creates an immersive experience to see the bow up close when stepping into the exhibition.

 

The original Royal Yacht in all its splendor, which we measured in order to draw and produce all +300 component parts for the exhibition.

Lightweight
construction

The construction is built using a combination of plywood, 3D printing, and our raw material PreBeam®.

To protect the walls and floor of the old castle, it was necessary to create a lightweight structure.

By 3D laser scanning the hall, we captured dimensions and measurements down to the smallest detail, ensuring that the bow has an appearance of being delicately placed amidst the existing ruins.

Large scale
3d print

We have utilized large-scale 3D printing to produce objects that require both low weight and complex geometry, such as the anchor, various fittings, and the bowsprit.

With 3D printing, we recreated objects to appear as replicas of the originals but in a lightweight version. This makes it easier to construct and arrange the exhibition.

For the Royal Yacht’s bow, approximately 42 kg of 3D printing is incorporated into the structure, but it easily resembles 4 tons in the original materials.

Collaboration

Laursen Kommunikation visited us to gather material for exclusive film footage about the creation of the Royal Yacht Dannebrog.

Made by Hall took over the lightweight structure of the bow, the 3D printed anchor, and the bowsprit to decorate them to resemble the original Royal Yacht Dannebrog.
