3D SCANNING AND REVERSE ENGINEERING
Why scan a 3D object?
No CAD data
Recreate a part made when CAD data did not exist
Copy natural or artistic shapes
Quickly capture all of the physical measurements of any physical object
INSPECTION OF PARTS
Compare “as-designed” model to “as-built” condition of manufactured parts
Scan in 3D when the original CAD files do not exist
Manufactured parts can be scanned to produce an STL file for prototyping without the need for the original CAD geometry.
Example: Part of a classic car, remaking old castings or castings that have been damaged.
Hand crafted parts can be scanned to produce an STL file for prototyping. E.g. A clay model (Size dependant).
Copy natural or artistic shapes
Examples – A worn-out shoe for artistic purposes or a pineapple for a scaled model.
Inspection of Parts
Manufactured parts can be scanned to compare the physical part to the original CAD file. A colour map file can be produced to show the difference between the two parts.
Example – Inspection to see where tool modifications have been made to the original design or deviation is suspected.
Critical dimension can be taken but a CMM process might be more efficient for a large amount of dimension checks or checking multiple parts of the same design.
Example – Assembly components can be aligned in CAD to check for interference.
