3D scanning
We capture existing parts and mounting surfaces as accurate 3D data — the starting point for parts that fit perfectly the first time.
01Overview
Overview
Scanning removes guesswork when a new composite part has to fit an existing vehicle, machine or assembly. The scan data becomes the reference for design, tooling and inspection.
Scanning is also used to compare finished parts with the design geometry.
02Process
3D Scanning
Step 01
Capture
The part or mounting area is scanned.
Step 02
Processing
Scan data is cleaned and aligned into a usable mesh.
Step 03
Modeling
The mesh is used as a reference for CAD design or inspection.
03Applications
Applications
- Fitment of new parts to existing vehicles or machines
- Reverse engineering of existing components
- Comparing produced parts with the design
- Digitizing prototypes and master models
