3D scanning is an integral part of our manufacturing process, whether used to reverse engineer an old part so we are able to remanufacture it or to validate a newly developed part and check the dimensional tolerances. There are a variety of scanning options including Laser Triangulation, White Light or Contact Based probe inspection amongst others.
Dimensional reports can be carried out if required. The process involves one or more physical parts being 3D scanned (often in a holding jig) and reviewed against the original 3D CAD. This process validates the parts as appropriate to use or shows up any abnormalities and issue prior to the parts being assembled or going into production.
