3D-ING Scanning

SOLUTIONS / QUALITY CONTROL

Check the shape. Understand deviations.

3D scanning captures the product surface for comparison with a reference model. A colour deviation map helps reveal differences that individual point measurements do not fully show.

01 / SURFACE CAPTURE

Understand the complete geometry of the part.

3D scanning captures the product surface for comparison with a reference model. Before measuring, we define tolerances, reference elements and the features to be checked.

02 / DATA PREPARATION

Prepare the model for measurement analysis.

We align the captured data and prepare it for analysis. Processing must preserve the geometry being evaluated; the preparation method and choice of metrology software follow the task requirements.

03 / DEVIATIONS FROM CAD

See where the shape differs.

A colour deviation map helps reveal differences that individual point measurements do not fully show. The comparison supports inspection of shape, wear and deformation on sheet metal, tools and components.

04 / DOCUMENTATION

Results for quality review.

The results review links measured geometry with product requirements. The report documents the chosen alignment, inspected features and findings for further decisions.

EXAMPLE TASKS

What do you want to achieve?

01

Comparison with CAD

Comparing measured geometry with the design model.

02

Deformation and wear

Inspecting changes on sheet metal, tools and other components.

03

Documenting measurements

Preparing results for quality review and process improvement.

WORKFLOW / BASIS FOR CHOICE

Define the result.

The result is a measurement basis for decisions. The choice of system, alignment method and measurement process must suit the task's tolerances.
