Laser scanning is quickly becoming more and more commonplace among manufacturers, regardless of industry. In recent years, laser scanning hardware and software have improved considerably, resulting in a streamlined system that can capture vast detail rapidly.
As a branch of metalworking, a subset of fabrication, metal forming is a foundational process, involved in a wide range of parts assembly: from the metal stamping of consumer goods used at home to many of the component elements of airplanes and automobiles.
Creaform announced that its HandySCAN 3D™ metrology-grade 3D laser scanner can now be used for recording physical attributes of aircraft dents and blends on all models of Boeing commercial airplanes.
The ShapeGrabber Ai310 automated laser scanner is ideal for scanning small to medium complex-shaped parts where speed, complete coverage, and ease-of-use are important.
Quality Vision International (QVI) announced that it has acquired ShapeGrabber Incorporated, a manufacturer of automated 3D scanners for industrial applications.
On Demand Innovations in manufacturing are advancing at a breakneck pace. But with each new tool comes new complexity: tighter tolerances, demanding standards, and a persistent shortage of skilled talent.
