DIGITIZING IT IN 3D
What is 3D Scanning?
In the most general terms, 3D scanning, also referred to as 3D digitizing, is the utilization of a three dimensional data acquisition device to acquire a multitude of X,Y,Z coordinates on the surface of a physical object.
Each discrete X,Y,Z coordinate is referred to as a point. The conglomeration of all these points is referred to as a “point cloud”. Typical format’s for point cloud data are either an ASCII text file containing the X,Y,Z values for each point or a polygonal mesh representation of the point cloud in what is known as an STL file format.
Sample ATOS 3D scanner generated point cloud and STL polygonal mesh images.
3D SCANNER AT ARUN 3D LABS
BEST OF ALL, BEST FOR ALL
We noticed a lack of accuracy and precision in industry standards when we conceptualized Arun 3D Labs, Thus resulting into choosing the best Scanning machines to deliver the best products.
We use ATOS COMPACT SCAN machine from GOM, a company of the ZEISS Group, that specializes in industrial 3D coordinate measuring technology, 3D computed tomography and 3D testing. GOM internationally sets standards in optical 3D metrology.
Through ATOS COMPACT SCAN, we can easily offer customer an all-round inspection. scanning, probing, tracking in a single system.
Why 3D scanning?
There have been many studies that have shown that the company that delivers a product 1st to market captures the lion share of the revenue. With this goal in mind, product development / manufacturing companies are implementing 3D scanning solutions in an effort to reduce the time and costs associated with their Concept through Sustaining Engineering Product Life Cycle. There are many different points of entry in this product life cycle where an accurate As Built digital definition can add value.
This technology helps many steps towards development of particular product:
- 1st article inspection
- Root Cause Analysis study
- Quality Control
- Rapid Manufacturing
- Reverse Engineering
- Performance correlations - FEA/CFD analysis
Having machine is not the only solution. We use, along with the best technology our own proprietary process and the best people to scan and compile data. This results in the most accurate and precise data for further analysis.
