3D Scanning Streamlines Product Development Process
Product development is a process from concept inception to design, development, and commercialization of newly designed products. Its objective is to provide high-quality and innovative products to customers and cultivate, maintain and increase a company’s market share by satisfying consumer demand. It is critical for designers and manufacturers to accelerate product time-to-market and stay ahead of their competitors.
New products start with the understanding of future products and inspirations from designers, a period during which sketches and mockups are made. Then, designers create CAD models to build a prototype. It is time-consuming and laborious to measure with traditional tools such as cardboard and measuring tapes. The measurement results of which usually fail to meet accuracy requirements. 3D scanners, a technology that uses lasers to capture the geometry of parts, can obtain full-filed measurement results precisely in a short amount of time.
How to Enhance Product Development Using a Portable 3D Laser Scanner?
3D Scan
Record mockups of different versions
Generate 3D Models
CAD models for instant viewing and archiving
Revise the Design
Data captured serves as guidance for design revision
First Article Inspection
Verify the first part produced against the original 3D model
Benefits
High-tech 3D scanners capture 3D data efficiently and accurately to reduce costs and increase efficiency during the whole life cycle of product development.
0.00 mm
Max Accuracy
Engineered with sophisticated algorithm, our 3D scanners perform well in capturing accurate 3D data with an accuracy of up to 0.02 mm. It is optimal to ensure that measurement results are as precise as required. These portable 3D scanners are compact and can be carried around with ease to conduct precise measurements without being affected by environmental conditions.
<0 %
Non-destructive
Our 3D scanners are contact-free measuring instruments. By projecting laser beams onto the surface of parts, 3D scanners can obtain point clouds without contacting or altering the objects. They allow designers, engineers, and manufacturers to measure parts without causing damage or destruction. Therefore, no potential harm will be caused to the objects to be measured.
