3D Scanning Service
Need more parts but cannot find your old data?
Or perhaps you need replacement parts that are no longer available? All is not lost!
The new 3D scanning service from ARRK allows physical objects to be optically scanned and converted into 3D CAD data. Scanning has a range of uses and applications and is ideal for clients where the original CAD data is no longer available. A relatively simple process, optical scanning involves the projection of light on to the object and capture of the reflected light by cameras. Repeat scanning at different angles allows gathered information to be converted into a 3D CAD file which can be exported in various formats.
What else can scanning be used for?
- Reverse engineering of hand crafted parts, e.g. clay or foam models
- Reverse engineering of modified components
- Remaking old castings or castings that have been damaged
- Inspection of complex surfaces
- Inspection of parts that cannot be CMM'd due to the intricate features
- Capturing interface data
- CAD data obtained from this service can then be used to produce one off prototype or low volume castings
The service is flexible and easy to use with most projects being turned around within one to two days, depending on what you are looking to obtain from your scan. Inspection reports, Curve network and Auto Surface options are also available.
