This presentation gives an in-depth explanation of how Mann+Hummel have reduced their tool tuning loops with ATOS structured light 3D scanning in comparison to their previous CMM process. Mann+Hummel utilizes ATOS to overall measure their parts more accurately due to the versatility of the data, resulting in significant time savings and cost improvements - conservative savings in excess of $320k per year.
Ford Stamping engineering has identified 14 key areas where white light scanning is an enabler to improve timing and quality –process improvements. Systematically going through list and addressing each area in order of importance and what makes business sense –various rates of success. By far the most effective and most successful application to-date is to reduce die rework. Panel inspection using automated cells also expected to be highly successful.
This presentation discusses the competitive vehicle digital benchmarking process of vehicle disassembly, 3D scanning, post processing, data compilation, and deliverables.
Boeing REsolutions presentation discussing process for reverse engineering and designing a classic Corvette body onto a newer model using ATOS for 3D scanning to create the digital model.
A changing customer manufacturing and metrology environment has led GOM to identify a number of critical software areas which could lead to significant process efficiencies and integrity improvements.
In the 90's, NASA started to develop the Autonom Crew Return Vehicle X-38. This vehicle is designed to bring up to 7 astronauts in an emergency case safe back to earth. For this development, flight and landing test were made from increasing dropping altitudes. From these experiments, the computer simulation can be confirmed and refined to allow an optimization of the design.
Measuring tasks that so far could only be performed using tactile 3D coordinate measuring machines, measuring arms or measuring aids, can now be carried out easily and efficiently with the TRITOP as it does not require any complex and maintenance-intensive hardware.
Modern technology simplifies and quickens the manufacturing of products having reproducible characteristics. In order to make it possible to create a faithful copy of the Nerezine boat, the Croatian company TOPOMATIKA performed a 3D measuring of the boat's shape using the photogrammetry system TRITOP of GOM.
Mobile optical 3D Coordinate Measurement System TRITOP CMM helps to reduce downtime of ships in dry-docks from month to days.
This example shows how the photogrammetric system TRITOP is used for local as well as global deformation analysis by the automotive industry.
