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.
3D scanning is typically accurate to within +/- .005 for most applications, but depending on which scanner is used, accuracy in the .001″ 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:
Because of the high quality models produced during the reverse engineering process, the models happen to be very versatile. Among the many things that are possible:
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.
Great news! With different laser scanners, it is possible to scan parts as small as 1/4 inch to huge aircraft and everything in between. Most of our scanners are portable, therefore we are able to scan larger sized objects at your location. But if your item is very small, we may refer you to one of our scanning partners. This is because our scanners are optimized to scan larger items quickly and economically.
