Industrial Manufacturing
Ensuring production continuity is imperative and 3D scanning is poised to improve, document or replicate parts and components.
Scanning and reproducing broken parts or improving the design is an attractive use case for scanning. Whether it’s for maintenance, repairs or operational requirements, we’ve got you covered.
Applications
- Replace a broken mounting bracket with a 3D printed part
- A preventative measure of having a 3D model of a vital component
- Create spare parts of consumable items on-demand
- Reverse engineering of parts to create a metal sand cast
- Design safety guards for dangerous, moving equipment or robots
No need for original part data or designs
Obsolete parts and designs are a real problem when your supplier no longer stocks a part
Improve upon existing designs
The current part may not be performing as well as it could with some tweaks
Create moulds to replicate parts
Use the current part to create a mould or form and mould, cast or press raw material into shape
Assess wear and tear of components and tools
3D scanning can be used as a preventative maintenance tool to highlight wear or damage
