ZEISS T-SCAN hawk 2 Approx. 20 – 50 µm Large, complex parts or for mobile scanning tasks

Here’s How a 3D Scan Works at AM Pioneers

Preparation and Citation

Before the actual scanning process begins, the part is prepared with reference points or spray to ensure reliable capture of its geometry. Depending on the part’s size and surface characteristics, we select the appropriate system from our portfolio.

Digitization

Using optical measurement technology, the system captures the entire surface of the component in just a few minutes and uses this data to generate a high-resolution polygon mesh of the actual geometry.

Analysis with ZEISS INSPECT

The captured measurement data is analyzed using ZEISS INSPECT software. By comparing the actual measurements with the CAD model, deviations can be identified and documented.

The time required depends on the component size and the level of detail required. Smaller components can often be scanned in just a few minutes, while complex or large-scale geometries take correspondingly longer. We would be happy to advise you on a realistic estimate for your component.

With the stationary GOM Scan 1 and the mobile T-SCAN hawk 2, we cover a wide range of component sizes, from small precision parts to large-scale assemblies.

Yes. As part of the reverse engineering process, we create a complete CAD model of your component based on the captured measurement data, even if no design data is available.
