Measuring a Junkers JU 52 NG

HandySCAN 3D helps with the detailed measurement of individual parts and various components The JUNKERS Flugzeugwerke AG in Widnau, Switzerland, has set itself the task of reviving old traditional aviation brands. However, as the project progressed, detailed images of individual parts or small subcomponents were increasingly needed to reproduce reliable and accurate design data. In addition, an important argument was the fact that the scanner is also suitable for precision 3D measurements”, explains Romario Odermatt, Certification Coordinator at JUNKERS Flugzeugwerke AG. Together with additional 3D scans of the adjacent individual parts, CAD software can be used to overhaul and optimize the original design according to today’s industry standards, if required. Overall, this has resulted in high-quality baseline data, which significantly simplifies the subsequent work steps and reduces the workload for any design revisions,” explains Mr. Odermatt.
