3d scanning technology can be utilized widely in engineering, design, product development, inspection & manufacturing processes during Product manufacturing cycle. We at Variational provides services for non-contact Three Dimensional Scanning or 3D scanning to capture complex shapes utilizing white light & laser based 3D scanning technology. The output given by this scanning process provides millions of points as "point cloud data" based on size & shape of the part.

We utilized Arm base (Faro platinum & Romer absolute) 3D laser scanners & white light 3D scanner. Along with 3D scanning software's Geomagic capture & Polyworks our 3D scanners are capable of capturing data for various applications, including Automotive, Aerospace, Power generation turbines, industrial plastic parts etc. to name a few.

Applications :

3D Scanning at Product Concept Phase

Industrial designers often use 3D scanning process to convert physical concept clay or form model in to virtual 3D model, which later can be manipulated in CAD software for further product development processes.

Product Redesigning/ Reverse Engineering

3D scanning is widely used reverse engineering method to derive manufacturing drawing data from existing part or assemblies those have undergone modifications, or to redesign existing products to fit to other modified assembly parts and not having previous drawing data.

3D Scanning for FEA

3D scanned point cloud data directly can be utilized as input for FEA and CFD. Software such as Polyworks and Geomagic can directly convert 3D point cloud polygon models to FEM model. Automotive, hydro turbine & pump component manufacturers widely use 3D scanning and FEA technique for prototype components to understand fluid flow & the structural strength to optimize product before finalizing product design.

3D Scanning for Quality Control

Inspections of complex 3D shapes are made easy using 3d scanning to nominal CAD model comparison. using this technique very quickly deviation in size, shape and critical positions between manufactured part and base CAD model can be determined. It helps in maintaining quality manufacturing.

3D Scanning for Rapid Prototyping

3d scanned point cloud data can directly utilize as input for rapid prototyping machines. The 3d point cloud can be converted to STL format that can be open in RPT software for further post processing.
