Application: Rapid Prototyping

In the automotive world, the company that gets a new and creative product to the market first wins market share. With the use of portable laser scanners, hand sculpted clay models can be digitized and brought into the CAD environment for modifications. The finished CAD model can then be sent (via email) to a rapid prototyping machine to produce a finished part that can be touched and viewed by design teams anywhere in the world.

Application: Reverse Engineering

The restoration of classic automobiles has always been plagued with problems associated with formed sheet metal parts. Corrosion, dents and scratches are sometimes so severe that the original part cannot be repaired. 3D laser scanning allows damaged parts to be modeled in the computer. Dents, scratches and corrosion can then be removed in the virtual model yielding a shape true to the original designer’s intent. This final model can then be used to fabricate new dies and parts.
