Design Engineering Services

We offer 3D White Light Scanning Services for Aerospace, Automobile, and Consumer Durables industries to name few. These services are offered using Steinbichler Comet 5 White Light Scanner. This digitization process is carried out using conjunction optical technology and digital image processing to extract the coordinates of points situated on the surface of an object.

3D White Light Scanning is a scanning technique that uses a non-contact optical scanning device along with a white light source. White Light Scanning picks up the point coordinates from the surface of the object being scanned. The area of the part within the frame can be scanned during a single scan, wherein if the surface to be scanned is larger than the frame, the scanning is done multiple times with markers placed on the surface. These serve as reference points that are to be scanned and merged with the help of the markers.

Applications

• Product Development, Reverse Engineering, Rapid Prototyping, Measurement and Inspection

• Build and maintain records of Cultural/Historical monuments

Our personnel make use of worlds’ renowned FARO articulated ARM with FARO LLP to Digitize Parts. We also make use of Laser non-contact and probe contact methods that is being used interchangeably. While performing this service we also make use of 7 Axis with highest accuracy platinum arms of 4 feet and 8 feet sizes for scanning different sizes of complex free form parts.

These 3D Contact Digitizing Services are widely demanded in Automotive, Aerospace, Medical, Consumer Durable and Engineering segments of market. We also specialize in offering Cloud Point Data, IGES surface models or parametric solid models in different CAD software. Our personnel have immense knowledge of Reverse Engineering, which is a science for analyzing part design, structure, part manufacturability, strength and functional requirements.

We have the expertise to offer our clients with impeccable solutions for 3D Laser Scanning. Our personnel make use of laser scanning systems with advanced laser scanner and take the non-contact, point-cloud measurement to a higher level. We also efficiently bring the physical parts into the digital domain with our handheld laser scanners, wherein the collected data is further used for modeling the product parts.

The picture below demonstrates the oxygen mask, rubber molded part being scanned using laser scanning method. This scanning is quick and a complete scan with inner and outer details can be performed in a single scan.

We offer our clients with services for Reverse Engineering, which is a process of creating CAD Models/ Drawings of physical object. This service is sought for cases where the clients might have lost the documentation or want their digital records updated as per the real object, product improvement projects.

With the support of our Reverse Engineers, Scanning Experts and 3D CAD Modelers, we provide on-site scanning support or create CAD data for hundreds of parts in a short period of time and clients’ budget.

Applications and Industries:

• Aerospace

• Automotive

• Mold Making

• Semiconductor

• Manufacturing

• Medical Devices

• Military & Defense

• Tooling Verification

• Consumer Products

• Industrial Equipment

We have the expertise to offer the Conversion of 2D & 3D Legacy Data to Unigraphics (NX) and Pro-E models. Our personnel have the experience and skills to import data from various CAD Systems using the available data translators. We also have the skills to offer 3D part modeling, Sub Assembly and Assembly Creation, 2D to 3D Conversion and Data Migration Services from one CAD software to another. Our team also has considerable knowledge to create complex surface geometries using advance surface functions.

Moreover, our 2D to 3D Conversion Services helps our clients convert older drawings into 3D Solid Models. These models are made available in different native and generic file formats, paper drawings or electronic drawings in AutoCAD format, which can be converted to Catia, Solid Works, and Pro-E models.

We have the expertise and skills to provide services for large scale scanning such as Scanning of Process Plants, Steel Plants, Power Plants, Cement Plants, Piping Layouts, and Archeological Monuments. This helps our customers create as-built models, drawings, and maintaining digital records. We make use of sophisticated 3D Scanning Technology to digitize and obtain point cloud data.

In todays competitive world, the advanced computer design tools have merged with high-definition laser camera scan data, which produces integrated images that are useful for outage and maintenance planning. A 3-D tool also enables the project team to perform virtual equipment removal or installation that is essential when each extra day of actual labor adds millions of dollars to outage costs.

We are engaged in offering our clients with CAD to Part Comparison Services. In this services, we scan the parts and point cloud or polygon data is superimposed on the existing CAD model to understand the deviations of parts from the design. These are extremely quick and accurate method to check 3D complex parts, during part/ tool qualification stage. It also helps validate 3D models that are created during the reverse engineering process.
