3D scanning technologies are used ever more often in modern production processes. 3D scanning is a process of converting physical object into an accurate digital model. Scanning of components allows to quickly and accurately capture the shape and dimensions of object. It means making a digital copy of component that can be used for quality assurance of products, in reverse engineering, or production process.

Stages of components scanning

Data collection

We collect data in the form of digital imagery using modified (macro) ground photogrammetry. We also use contact scanner 3D Creator to measure selected buildings and to refine the scale of the model.

Creation a 3D model

We convert the data into accurate digital models that allow for any manipulation in a computer environment. 3D models are created from mesh and are stored in standardized file formats.

Measuring, modelling and production

We measure dimensions and shapes of component, provide numerical and graphical comparisons of the 3D model with the reference/project model (difference map), and model adaptation to new requirements (3D modeling). We can also prepare digital models for industrial production, if needed.

Cutting edge technology

We use cutting edge technology in the field of ground photogrammetry. We use APS-C cameras equipped with full-frame sensors from 16 to 50 Mpix and Canon and Olympus high-light lenses. The advantage of these technologies is that they represent contactless scanning methods. Surface of scanned object therefore isn’t damaged. Other benefits include photogrammetric scanning: high density of points (resolution), and possibility of scanning tiny components (in millimeters).

Outputs

We deliver 3D model of object in standard file formats OBJ, WRML and STL to our clients. We will provide you with required measurements comparison and modelling. We will document the results in both numeric and graphic format.
Based on 3D models, we can develop various animations, such as bird-eye view or stereoscopic videos for presentation purposes. Upon request, we optimize 3D models and prepare them for virtual and augmented reality. They can also be prepared for presentation directly in internet browser, without the need to install plugins.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions regarding support or other outputs or formats.
