Our expert scanning team uses the fastest and most accurate 3D laser scanners available and will work closely with you to clearly understand your needs set you up for success.
Call us today for a consultation and find out how Arrival3D can bring the accuracy and cost-saving benefits of 3D laser scanning to your project.
There are a great variety of different parts and objects that can be scanned including: molds, tools, jigs, fixtures body panels and even complete aircraft. If you don’t have digital 3D drawings of your tooling, or any drawings at all, 3D scanning is a way to capture them and preserve their shape using precise 3D scanning technology. No prior 3D experience is required for you to start taking advantage of 3D scanning. Output files are provided in neutral standard formats that you can provide to your engineers to utilize.
Every scan has a plan that is unique to your project. If you are interested in seeing every 1″ conduit that is inside a building, the scan plan will involve closely-spaced scans and more of them in order to capture all of the conduit from every angle. If your area of interest is much larger, such as capturing 12″ piping runs across the property of your facility, the scans will be spaced much farther apart. In either case, we make the best and most efficient use of the on-site scanning time so as to accomplish your needs with minimum cost.
3D scanning is typically accurate to within +/- .005 mm for most applications, but depending on which scanner is used, accuracy in the .001 mm range is achievable. We select the most efficient 3D scanning method that can meet your minimum accuracy requirement. By identifying the least amount of accuracy that you can live with, we can optimize the process to save you money.
Common reasons include:
Alternatively, you can just keep the 3D model for safekeeping as documentation for future reference knowing, should the part ever be lost or destroyed, that you have sufficient information build another one. The sky is the limit as to what you can do once the object is in its digital form.
