Manufacturing

3D scanning creates an accurate computer model while minimising the time a tool is out of production. The 3D model generated can then be altered to make tool improvements. CNC machining programs to repair or make a new tool can then be generated. 3D scanning in toolmaking has shown to be faster and more cost effective than traditional processes.

If you need to repair, alter or make a new tool, 3D scanning can make the process faster and more accurate than traditional trial and error approaches.

Comparing finished manufactured parts and the tools that make them to the original 3D CAD model is a growing requirement. WYSIWYG 3D provides an independent 3D scanning service to compare real parts to CAD models.

With the complex shapes of current parts 3D scanning using lasers is an effective way of measuring the dimensional accuracy of a part.

WYSIWYG 3D has specialized software that compares 3D scan data to your original CAD file. Scanning can be done on-site during your pre-production trials to provide immediate feedback.

Inspection reports can be quickly generated showing what deviations there are from the correct geometry and where those deviations are. Reports can be graphical and produced as standard Word documents.

Inspection scanning can assist manufacturers in determining the best processing variables, such as temperature and cycle times, to make a part.
