Leveraging the Power of 3D Scanning for Custom Parts

Presenter: Brad Crozier, Account Manager, Ontario

Designing aftermarket parts usually starts with reverse engineering the surrounding environment—where the designed parts will be integrated—and converting it into a virtual 3D model. However, because reverse engineering parts and environments without sufficient accuracy can cause fitting issues, project delays, and additional costs, more and more companies have decided to replace their traditional measuring tape and opt for a 3D measurement method.

They have chosen to leverage the power of 3D scanning to design better custom-built products. By adding 3D scanning to the design process, aftermarket manufacturers are now able to reach the accuracy and level of detail required to design new, fully integrated, custom-built systems that enable optimum functionality and performance. Moreover, 3D scanners allow them to acquire the quality and quantity of data required for complex designs.
