Robomation Robot Technologies Inc. developed a solution for automated polishing / sandblasting of objects, using Photoneo 3D camera MotionCam-3D attached to the robotic arm. MotionCam-3D has been chosen for this application because it provides a number of unique benefits, including the ability to scan the object's surface in motion with utmost precision and efficiency.

BOMAG’s team was searching for 3D measurement solutions to add to its portfolio that would enable uncomplicated, flexible and non-contact measurement of free-form surfaces, such as castings and plastic parts. The ideal 3D measurement solution also needed to be portable so that scanning of large components and the highest quality standards could be guaranteed.

3D scanners: New possibilities for measuring large parts

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.

How to better detect manufacturing defects

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.

Getting All the Details Right: The Key for Winning Endurance Races

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.

How to Improve, Optimize, and Accelerate First Article Inspection

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?

How to Get Started with Product Reverse Engineering?

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?

RimDepal by AROTEC allows robots to fully automatically depalletize all common EWPS pallets with unprecedented performance and flexibility. The solution harnesses the power of Photoneo 3D vision, which can cover a large scanning area and provide high-quality 3D data even for shiny black materials.

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.
