Leading global transport solutions provider reduces its inspection times with the Creaform 3D scanner

3D Scans Without Limits of Shapes and Surfaces

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.

What is the Future of Reverse Engineering?

You have been tasked with buying a 3D scanner. The only problem is figuring out where to start your search. You know what 3D scanning is but don’t know enough about it to make an informed choice.

What Is the Best 3D Scanner?

The military and defense sectors are undergoing an unprecedented transformation as military bases around the world adopt 3D scanning and additive manufacturing technologies for a wide range of applications. That includes maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) processes, damage assessments and reverse engineering of parts, to name a few.

3D Scanning, 3D Printing and the New Production Imperative in Military and Defense Applications

MetraSCAN 3D is a high-performance CMM, yet it is easy to operate. New employees who have been with the company for only a few months quickly learn to operate it, and they are now measuring products as part of their daily work.

High-speed, high-precision 3D scanner greatly streamlines the measurement work of wood model makers, which is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process.
