3D SCANNING: REVERSE ENGINEERING, RESTORATION &MEASUREMENT.

S A L E S @ G O P R O T O . C O M . A U

3D SCANNING & PHOTOGRAMMETRY 3D scanning is the process of using electronic instruments to capture theprecise shape of an object or building in digital form. We specialise inboth long range and object 3D scanning, as well as photogrammetry forcolourised point cloud and textured meshes.

3D scanning represents up to 25% of the total project time, rebuilding thegeometry of the object using 3D modelling software is the remainingproject time.

3D MODELLINGUsing various software tools, the point cloud data is stitched together tocreate a total 3D representation of the object(s) and converted into thedesired deliverable format. This could be 3D CAD models, animations, 2DCAD drawings, or a print-to-3D ready model. It's a highly accuraterepresentation of the scanned object or building/landscape and can beused for design modifications, metrology, inspection, training or historicalrecords.

Stage 3: Solid or surface models geneated foruse in animation or manufacturing software.

A collection of measurements is called a point cloud. This is thedata from which we extract valuable information & 3D models.

Stage 1: Gathering of point cloud data.Recorded at a rate of 10,000 pts / second.

Stage 2: 3D polygon mesh created by joiningpoints. Missing data generated.

MEETING YOUR INDUSTRY NEEDSWe utilise a range of high-end Artec and Faro scanners to meet the needsand quality standards of a range of applications, including:

Our high definition laser scanners can make very precise measurementsuseful for part inspection. We provide a variety of inspection types basedon how a part will be used. With the goal being to quickly identifyproblem areas, or pass/fail a manufactured part to maintain high-qualitycontrol standards.

Types of inspection results: Depending on the nature of a part,we may use a 3D scanner or a

touch probe to inspect thedimensions of your part.

Performance Simulation & Analysis3D scanning can provide you with powerful analysis tools for complexphysical and engineering problems. The two most common simulationinclude Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD).

CFD is widely used for wind tunnel and flight testing. While FEA is thevirtual simulation of geometry to assist in calculating displacement, stressand strain under internal and external loads.

Geomagic by 3D Systems, is a leading suite of software forreverse engineering & inspection. As distributors for the

APAC region, we apply our product knowledge to help youmake the right software choice.

Digital Twin3D scanned data brings a physical object to life in the form of a fullydigitsed model, or digital twin. While there are a number of competitorswho also offer 3D scanning services, their methods don't yield enoughdata to create a complete geometric digital twin.

Digital twins store exact measurement and essential information aboutspecific projects and physical assets. This information is used to evaluatedesign, operations and additions.

Feasibility studiesEnhanced communicationsSeamless collaboration with contractorsAccuracy in estimates and fewer variation expenses

3D laser scanning quickly produces point cloud model data ideally suitedfor input into BIM applications. An accurate BIM model provides benefitsthroughout all stages of a project. Examples include:

Traditional survey techniques only create basic symbolic drawings, butwith a 3D scanning approach everything visible can be captured.

Railway feasibility study. Entire railcorridor scanned (5kms totalling 4.6

billion points). Benefits extendbeyond feasibility & design, it also

included the evaluation of riskmanagement processes.

Augmented & Virtual Reality (AR/VR)

Reverse Engineering

Our ability to scan small intricate components to huge aircrafts andeverything in between, allows us to supply a range of digitised data that'sused for virtual training and simulations. This same technology is also ideal in creating realistic video fly-throughsfor marketing and cultural heritage applications for museums.

Reverse engineering is a method of reconstructing a design from anexisting object, so that it can be modified, adapted or re-built when spareparts are no longer manufactured.

In practice, this means scanning and converting the data into a formatthat's compatible with our CAD modeling tools. 3D printing then providesus with a high degree of accuracy to recreate physical patterns from thescanned data. These patterns can then be supplied to foundries forsecondary processes if necessary.

BENEFITS

1.Fast & ThoroughOther measuring technologies, such as coordinate-measuring machinesand traditional surveying devices, only measure one data point at a time,making them tedious and time-consuming. Our 3D laser scanning canrecord thousands to tens of thousands of data points per second as thelaser is moved over the surface of the object or terrain. Additionally, thegreater density of data points collected results in a more thorough,detailed picture. 2. AccurateOur high level of accuracy helps ensure that measurements are correctthe first time so that less work is needed to complete subsequent steps indesign and production. 3. Non-Contact Because 3D laser scanning is an optical-based technology, there is noneed for the scanner to touch the object. This can be helpful whenseeking to measure small, intricate, or fragile features that may bedistorted or damaged when touched.

4. SafetyThe portable 3D laser scanners used for surveying can record accuratemeasurements from any distance up to several hundred meters. This canhelp keep operators safe when they survey dangerous areas due totopography or toxic conditions. The speed of this technology alsoreduces the time that operators may be exposed to such conditions.
