Innovative 3D scanners for a competitive edge in automotive design
Summary
Automotive manufacturers and suppliers around the world have used portable 3D scanning systems for product development, vehicle design and quality assurance. The MetraSCAN 3D is a fast, precise and reliable optical CMM 3D scanner (accuracy of 0.025 mm) that is insensitive to vibrations in production environments, part movements and unstable environmental conditions. Clay models and automotive parts, such as rims, doors and seats as well as complete vehicle interiors are measured with two Creaform 3D scanners: Go!SCAN SPARK and HandySCAN 3D. In addition to digitalization, data clean-up and alignment in the software represent an important time factor in terms of efficiency and simplicity. The combination of Creaform scanners and VXmodel brings the power of digitalization to the automotive design sector.
