Ship’s propeller or propulsor is the part of a ship that converts rotational energy of the propulsion system into a force that serves to run the ship. This final paper reveals a historical overview of the development of the ship propeller, and lists the types of ship propellers and their characteristics. In order to understand 3D scanning, concepts such as optical measurement and 3D scanning were also described, and the differences between contact and contactless 3D scanners were explained. Tomos outboard propeller model was scanned using a 3D scanner (in this case an ATOS 3D scanner). The scanning process had to be repeated several times to get the most accurate 3D view of the screw. The scanning process consists of two parts. The first part is laser scanning of the outboard propeller, and the second part is digital modeling and processing. Due to numerous irregularities and hollows in the scan, the model had to be processed in a 3D modeling software. The final result, after processing the model, realistically shows Tomos outboard propeller in three-dimensional shape. This 3D model can be used for further analysis and its development.
