Laser Scanning Services offer a Variety of Applications

3D laser scanning is also known as 3D Laser Surveying-offers a dramatic improvement on traditional surveying and scanning methods. In addition to offering the final level of accuracy, Laser Scanning Services also dramatically decrease the timeframe of the traditional surveying process. But perhaps its greatest benefit to companies that offer it and companies that require it is that it applies to a broad spectrum of manufacturing, engineering and inspection endeavours. While the applications for Laser Scanning Services Essex are practically countless, below are a few areas where 3D laser imaging is currently benefiting a variety of industries.

Reverse Engineering

In reverse engineering, Laser Scanning allows companies to extract the digital shape of an object and use the resulting information to bother shoot, reproduce or analyze the object, using any CAD technique to read the information. Ideal for making changes to mechanical parts to offer improved versions of a product through later releases, laser imaging also allows physical product designs (i.e. clay and other prototypes) to be converted in to "solid models" that can be directly manufactured in to actual world products.

3D Digitizing

3D digitizing captures the shape of an object and translates it in to a digital format that can be expressed in a variety of ways, including formats expressed in polygon mesh models, xyz points, cross sections, splines and Nurbs. 3D digitizing occurs in forms: non-contact digitizing and contact digitizing. Digitizing machines that can capture thousands of knowledge points by taking a single shot of an object perform non-contact digitizing. Contact digitizing, on the other hand, involves machines that probe the surface of an object to collect its spatial knowledge. Non-contact digitizing is usually used for larger, free form objects, while contact digitizing usually focuses on smaller objects.

Mold Design

Just as Laser Scanning Essex can collect the spatial knowledge of a clay model and manufacture from it directly, it may even be used to machine molds, including small and large molds, single and multi-cavity molds, prototype molds, production molds, blow molds and injection molds. From gizmo manufacturers to toy makers, any company that develops distinctive molds for their manufacturing method can benefit from the mold design capabilities of laser scanning services.

Quality Control

Aside of product manufacturing itself, quality control is the most important aspect of the manufacturing system. Because the accuracy that it offers, Laser Scanning Essex is the optimal approach for comparing and inspecting a manufactured part in relation to its design intent. Unlike gauges and CCM's, which cannot inspect parts thoroughly, laser scanning examines parts from every vantage point and reveals the slightest errors through clear, simple to detect color coding. In addition, Laser Scanning Equipment can generate verification reports and inspection reports, and can perform assembly line inspection during the manufacturing system.
