What are Large Object 3D Scanning Services?
Large object 3D scanning involves the usage of photogrammetry or lasers to capture objects from numerous angles so the data can then be used to produce a three dimensional model. Photogrammetry is a procedure where hundreds of photos will be taken and then stitched together, whereas laser scanning, which is also known as LIDAR will produce data point based clouds which are then transformed into 3D.
Aerospace and defense organizations often scan sizeable objects for the purpose of:
- Acquiring models for CFD and FEA simulation
- Reverse engineering components which have no sketches
- Preserving and documenting designs which are hand built
- Duplicating components
- Reproducing and archiving tooling, fixtures or mold
Inspecting components for manufacturing accuracy
Because the quality models that result from the process of reverse engineering are so versatile, they can be used for 3D printing, the creation of 2D drawings, molding and machining as well as animation.
Why are Large Scanning 3D Object Scanning Services Important?
The 3D scanning of large objects is important for a number of reasons. First, it allows organizations to rapidly capture every physical measurement and will save time on design work. Second, it ensures that every component fits correctly and will capture the engineering optimizations which are inherent within manufactured components. Third, it allows companies to incorporate contemporary manufacturing for components which were originally produced prior to CAD.
When are Large Object 3D Scanning Services needed?
Large object three dimensional scanning is essential for scenarios where one must perform detailed object studies. It can be used for tasks which range from optical measurements to topography, archiving and more. Once a large object has been scanned, scaled down replicas can be built to determine how individual parts interact to produce movement while responding to stresses in the environment.
It also plays a key role in design and engineering, because these fields demand expedited prototyping as it is fundamental for the design of many products. When working on a tight schedule for a project that is high in demand, 3D scanning will provide superior results and a quicker turnaround time.
