3D Scanning
3D scanning captures the shape and dimensions of physical objects, converting them into detailed digital models. This process is ideal for reverse engineering, quality control, and preserving complex designs. Advanced scanners create high-resolution models ready for further design or production.
3D Scanning Process
Object Preparation
Preparation ensures that the object is clean, stable, and positioned for optimal scanning. Proper setup is essential, particularly for complex shapes, as it enables full visibility and accessibility for the scanner. We take care to remove any debris or obstructions that might interfere with capturing accurate details. With careful positioning, the scanner can capture all necessary geometry for a high-quality digital model.
Scan Calibration
We calibrate the scanner to match the object’s size, material, and complexity. Calibration settings, such as resolution and scanning speed, are adjusted to ensure that the scanner captures accurate details without unnecessary data. This step is critical to achieving precise results, as calibration affects the clarity and detail of the digital model. Properly calibrated, the scanner can produce a clean, usable dataset for processing.
Scanning
Using advanced 3D scanning technology, we capture the object’s geometry in layers, recording every surface detail. During scanning, the scanner collects detailed data on the object’s shape, contours, and unique features. The process yields a high-resolution digital model that reflects the physical characteristics of the original item. This detailed scan provides a robust foundation for reverse engineering, quality checks, or further design refinement.
Data Processing
After scanning, the raw data is converted into a workable format, such as OBJ or STL. This process involves cleaning the scan data, aligning sections, and ensuring compatibility with CAD software. Data processing is the first step in preparing the scan for model refinement, as it makes the raw file manageable and ready for further work. Proper data processing ensures a solid foundation for the model refinement phase.
Model Refinement
Model refinement focuses on enhancing the digital model by addressing geometry errors, filling gaps, and smoothing surfaces. This step ensures that the model is accurate, watertight, and free from issues that might affect CAD use. Refining the model allows for a clean transition to CAD creation, as it improves detail and structural integrity. A refined model is essential for reliable reverse engineering and accurate CAD outputs.
CAD File Creation
With the refined model, we create a detailed CAD file, converting the digital scan into precise geometries that can be modified or manufactured. This step involves reverse-engineering the model to produce a functional CAD design ready for production or further design work. The resulting CAD file offers a high degree of accuracy and flexibility, supporting design modifications and integration into broader projects.
