3D Scanning allows for capturing the geometrical shape for an object and transfer this into a digital format.<\/p>\n
You can certainly do this by measuring the overall dimensions and features of the object using a caliper and making a technical drawing from these measurements. If you need the data for industrial production purposes you would need to put these data into a CAD program. This will take a lot of time for a complex geometry, and the accuracy would be questionable.<\/p>\n
By using a 3D Scanning process, you will be able to capture the exact shape of the object and transfer these data into a 3D CAD model directly. After the capture you can complete the point cloud into solid 3D model objects.<\/p>\n
This method allows for several useful areas:<\/strong><\/p>\n Reverse Engineering: Capturing the geometrical shape of a product for<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n industrialization. Like a handcrafted part you want to duplicate or make a mold for serial production or re-capture the cavity of an old production tool with missing accurate drawings.<\/p>\n Quality Control: By checking the dimensions compared to a master CAD model. This allows for an automated quality control during mass production.<\/p>\n Optical deformation analysis: By using 3D Scanning technology you may check deformations and actual changes of an object during stress or practical working situations.<\/p>\n We can perform 3D Scanning services using an automated stationary lab or on-site operations, like capturing wear and tear of machine elements in the field, detecting possible deviations.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” transparent_background=”off” background_color=”#dbdbdb” allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”https:\/\/protolab.no\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/atos_3d_scanning.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”https:\/\/protolab.no\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/atos_3d_scanning_sml.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
