3D Inspection and Reverse Design of Auto Fittings (Casting Parts)
Project description
For complicated curved surface, the traditional measuring methods (like calipers, three coordinates, etc.) needs long time. It can not adapt to the present technical requirements in the aspects of data accuracy, measuring and modeling time.
Technique requirement
Accuracy requirement- the accuracy must be controlled within 0.05mm
Technique difficulty
Three coordinates dot cannot obtain the complete information of curved surface because of its complex casting shape. The measuring time is long.
Solutions of Shining3D
Equipment: Shining3D-Scanner +
software of Shiningform XOR reverse design
Operation flow
First, we obtain high precise, high quality and high accurate data files with the help of Shining3D-Scanner, and then process them by software of Shiningform reverse design to get STL 3D model. Import 3D model into reverse modeling software for reverse engineering.
The following pictures are 3D data of automotive steering knuckle. We import them into CAD software after processing of Shiningform XOR reverse software. Then CAD data will be directly obtained, and it can be used for CNC machine processing, appearance and quality detection, etc.
Conclusion
1. Now it only takes us half an hour for accomplish 3D scanning, which was at least half a day for measurement and constant correction with the traditional method.
2. Shining3D-Scanner is convenient for later reverse engineering with high accuracy and high precision.
Subsequent application
Reverse modeling
Quality inspection
