We at CAD / CAM services do this by the relatively simple expedient of being able to virtually create various “point clouds” of different types of data that we lift off, from the very surface of the object being scanned. In this way, we are easily able to capture the physical object’s (more or less) exact size, specifications and even shape so as to save the same as a digital 3-dimensional representative model.

Every company in the AEC Industry is facing huge challenges from their competitors. Each company is expected to be responsive and agile in this tough competition. Being proactive is the requirement of the hour for every organization facing these market challenges. Even customers needs have become very selective. They are opting for products which are customized and available quickly. The current market situation has become very competitive and every organization is coming up with new strategies to present them in a better way to attract customers and deliver their products to customers.

In a continuation of our discussion in our previous blog post, today, we look at the costs associated with 3D scanning and the platforms used in 3D scanning.

Deviation analysis is a proven method for assessing the accuracy and quality of diverse physical objects, from small mechanical parts to sky-scraper-sized structures; from automobiles to airplanes; and nearly anything else that requires precision fabrication.

By using specialized non-contact, non-destructive technology to digitally capture the shape of physical objects, we’re able to create “point clouds” of data from the surface of an object. In this way, we’re able to capture a physical object’s exact size and shape and save it as a digital 3-dimensional representation, or model.

When you need a fast and accurate method of putting physical measurements of an object into your CAD system, CAD / CAM Services provides expert 3D scanning. The 3D scanned data can be represented by a scale digital model or a 3D graphic rendering. The scanned data provides all of the physical dimensions of the object, such as length, width, height, volume, feature size, feature location, and surface area.This 3D scanned data acts as a bridge between the actual physical object and manufacturing. The data from the 3D scan can be converted into CAD / CAM data used by CNC machines. Our 3D scanning service is invaluable for CAD modeling, reverse engineering, contact/non-contact dimensional inspection, and ISO 17025-accredited integrated metrology services and saves many hours of grueling redesign work by your engineers.Even the movie and entertainment industry makes use of 3D scanning to create animated versions of real physical objects.However, most of our customers are in manufacturing, engineering and military environments. The ability to reverse engineer nearly any object makes it possible to create and do things that previously were impossible. Not only has 3D scanning created possibilities, it has also created opportunities because the technology we use is both mobile and adaptable to many different scenarios.We can even perform on-site 3D scanning that provides incredible accuracy at prices that offer a far better ROI than having your staff reverse engineer an object by hand.
