3D Design and Maintenance on Racing Vehicle with Scantech 3D Scanner
A France 3D Scanning company, BTRD3D, helped LR Motor Company in France to scan the tubular chassis of a race vehicle using the 3D scanner KSCAN 20. The CAD model generated from the scanned data served as a basis for the development of a new product, which means helping the company to conceive a new high-performance buggy for competition.
What are the effectiveness and gains of 3D point cloud inspection?
Point cloud technology refers to the use of a set of data points in a 3D coordinate system, which is commonly defined by X, Y and Z axes. From a metrological standpoint, the actual points in a point cloud represent those X, Y and Z geometric coordinates for each single point.
Should a CMM be replaced with a robot?
Deciding whether to replace a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) with a robotic measurement system can be challenging. To make an informed choice, it’s essential to understand the unique strengths and limitations of each technology. Let’s explore this in more detail, with examples to help you visualize the differences.

Unlocking the Future of Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM): Advanced Controllers and Industry Evolution
In the world of precision manufacturing, coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) stand as pillars of quality control and assurance. These sophisticated devices have become indispensable tools for verifying the dimensions of manufactured parts with incredible accuracy. At the heart of every CMM lies its controller - the brain that coordinates movements, processes data, and interfaces with measurement software. As manufacturing tolerances tighten and the demand for faster, more accurate measurements grows, CMM controllers have become a focal point for technological advancement in the metrology industry.
UNVEILING THE HIDDEN HURDLES OF AUTOMOTIVE PART MANUFACTURERS
Manufacturing sheet metal is far from a simple task. It requires rigorous inspection, primarily due to the high quality and stringent safety standards required in the automotive industry. No doubt, a combination of advanced technology and skilled labor must be involved to ensure that the sheet metal components are cut and shaped to precise dimensions. This includes checking for correct length, width, surface profile, and overall shape. Quality inspection is vital because automotive sheet metal must withstand stress and fatigue over the vehicle’s lifetime.
