Design Reverse Engineering 3D Scanning Inspection

An eclectic mix

Hi %FirstName%

Welcome to the June newsletter. We have been very busy of late from 3D scanning supercars, providing reports for large scale inspection projects using scan data as well as providing styling surface design support to one of our OEM automotive clients.

With our core set of skills, which are permanently based in house, supported by all our own hardware and software we can help remove your design, reverse engineering and inspection headaches.

We are only a phone call or quick email away, so please contact us with your questions to see how we can help. We look forward to hearing from you.

Please follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter and let us know what you would like to see in future newsletters. We can then make sure that we improve the newsletter offering month on month. Thank you to those that have been providing us with feedback so far, your input is much appreciated.

With regards

9 reasons to use 3D scanning >

Blade runner - GOM news

The University of Paderborn, Germany has exactly calculated the life cycle of running blades by using 3D Measuring Data. They have examined the durability of these prostheses using load testing and optical measuring systems which will increase athletes’ safety in the future.

At SurfDev we use 3D scanning because the process so quick at capturing data around complex features. The scanner will place the same number of points (5million per scan) in the scanning volume no matter how complex or simple the region without any extra input or programming.

Medical Dummy - a case study

The model that you see on the left is just 20cm high and resides in the SurfDev studio. It is a demonstration piece that we scan to show how a high quality data set can be used for manufacturing replicas at any size by using 3D printing or CNC machining.

Breakfast, boats and Boris' bikes

Our engineer, Joe, is clocking up the air miles this month as he jets in from Tokyo to London then, back again.

He's had his work cut out enjoying even more Japanese traditions as Kanagawa becomes to feel more and more like home. Joe samples the local delicacy monjayaki, drops in on a beautifully preserved teahouse (proof that it’s not just about beer and whiskey) and is teased by some tantalizingly tortuous fake food.

Join Joe on his blog as he continues a 2 year program of design training with our friends and colleagues at our sister company in Japan.

The need for speed

When it comes to high speed tests of components, optical metrology can provide 3D data with high temporal and spatial resolution.

GOM is running a webinar on 24th June for you to learn more about how optical metrology is used in high speed component testing.
