There are many things you should know (but maybe don’t!) about 3D scanning technology. If you know just a little bit about 3D scanners and perhaps that your workplace or lab needs to acquire one, you may be uncertain where to start when it comes to window shopping and considering options. And if you will be outsourcing your 3D scanning needs, you want to know what to look for when choosing a service and the technologies offered. There are three major components of any 3D scanning technology that you should take into account when choosing a 3D scanning service to use or a 3D scanner [...]

There are many things you should know (but maybe don’t!) about 3D scanning technology. If you know just a little bit about 3D scanners and perhaps that your workplace or lab needs to acquire one, you may be uncertain where to start when it comes to window shopping and considering options. And if you will be outsourcing your 3D scanning needs, you want to know what to look for when choosing a service and the technologies offered. There are three major components of any 3D scanning technology that you should take into account when choosing a 3D scanning service to use or a 3D scanner to invest in. Those major components are speed, portability, and cost. 

There are a number of things to consider when purchasing metrology equipment, such as CT scanners, 3D scanners, or CMMs. Looking simply at cost will not suffice when choosing equipment that will properly suit your needs and function well with other equipment and processes. Because it can be difficult to know where to start, we have put together a helpful list for more successfully choosing the metrology equipment you need for your specific purposes or project. 

3D scanning offers a variety of benefits for a wide array of industries. But, to recognize those benefits, it is important to first understand what 3D scanning technology actually is. A 3D scanner is built to pull data, including measurements, from an object or environment, often with the intention of replication. As you might imagine, this kind of technology offers a plethora of data that contains detailed insights about the object or environment in question. One of the primary reasons to add 3D scanners to a business, particularly one involving production, is efficiency. A 3D scanner can make the development, design, and production of a [...]

The Absolute Arm [...]

Reverse engineering is the duplication of an item based on an examination of its components and construction. The primary purpose behind reverse engineering is discovering how an object or system works, particularly when that object’s instructions or manuals are no longer available or were never originally created. This discovery is used in turn to replicate the object down to its internal functioning. Reverse Engineering in Different Industries While reverse engineering can be used solely for the purpose of design duplication, it is also used for a variety of other engineering functions across different industries. In product design and manufacturing, reverse engineering can be used for [...]
