This white paper explores the increasing need for high-precision metrology in highly regulated industries such as automotive and civil aviation.
This blog aims to illustrate the different manufacturing challenges leading to product defects and highlight how 3D scanning technology allows for more features and parts to be inspected. It also describes how QC managers can shorten inspection time and reduce production costs associated with scraps.
Endurance racing does not only require the best and latest technology. It also involves having the ability to harness it for multiple hours in a row without causing disaster. When you are competing at the highest level and against the best of the best, attention to detail is everything. This means leaving no stone unturned, no issue unresolved. Only then can a racing team truly be at the top of its game.
3D scanning can be used to measure objects of art in order to assess their 3D dimensions accurately.
Measuring surface roughness allows metrologists to establish the roughness of a surface for quality control or other purposes. But how exactly is it done?

First article inspection (FAI) is a crucial step in the manufacturing process. The quality control (QC) team needs to optimize this phase of inspection in order to limit the back and forth between conception and fabrication. The QC team must not only correctly identify the defects, but also provide relevant data, measurements, and results for solving the identified problems.

The main—if not the sole—purpose of reverse engineering is to gain knowledge about the design and development steps shrouded in the guise of a finished product. But what is backwards engineering if not a means to address practical issues such as machine downtime, part replacement, and maintenance or repair challenges?

Over the last few decades, reverse engineering has become an essential part of product design and production processes used by manufacturers all over the globe. From aerospace to automotive to everyday consumer goods, industrial engineers and product designers rely on reverse engineering when replicating a legacy part without documentation or drawings, analyzing and deconstructing a competitive product, or modifying and improving an existing one.

In this application by Rossum Integration s.r.o., empty crates are scanned with the Photoneo PhoXi 3D Scanner to make sure they are not contaminated by candy products previously filled in the crates. After the contamination control, the crates are filled with a material and manipulated by a robot equipped with a special effector, which can grab 4 crates simultaneously.
High-speed, high-precision 3D scanner greatly streamlines the measurement work of wood model makers, which is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process.
