3D Technologies for Product Development & Manufacturing Processes

3D digitizing technologies such as Steinbichler COMET white-light systems combined with powerful modeling and inspection software such as PolyWorks and Geomagic can offer the following benefits for your product development and manufacturing processes

• Accelerated new product launches
• Faster, more thorough part/component inspection using 3D point cloud ‘colour map’ inspection techniques
• Reflecting engineering changes in 3D CAD models
• Reverse engineering of prototype and hand-modified products
• Verification of mold tooling immediately following CNC machining – injection molds; blow molds; rotational molds; compression molds
• Offshore tooling verification
• Fit and assembly troubleshooting
• Plastic component shrinkage and warpage analysis
•  High accuracy 3D digital archiving of production tooling
• Complete reverse engineering of parts and tooling where 3D CAD data does not exist or has been lost 
• Bringing physical prototypes and models into the 3D digital world
• Faster first article inspection for injection moulded plastics
