3D Scanning
3D Scanning
(OP)
Does anyone have experience of using 3D scanners integrated to CAD to inspect sheetmetal components. We have a Faro arm CMM which I believe you can attach a laser scanner to. How fast is point cloud scanning - is it practical to use it to check first off pieces in a busy fabrication shop. I understand to get reasonable quality the digital scanners are very expensive.

TOC: Do a carefull evalutaion of the scanner you look at. Some of them are better able to handle shinny parts like sheet metal than others. You will get the best results by painting the parts.
expect to spend ~100,000$ on the project. (If you want a model maker laser for your Faro you need to upgrade to a Faro with more axis.)
Faro sells an inspection package that you can experiment with. Depending on your parts it maybe enough.

They have a laser scanner called g-scan.
They are in fact the only ones to offer their own laser scanner with their arms.
You can see it on www.romer.fr
In north america they are sold by AXILA www.axila.com

Very impressive.

Do not by anything until youhave used it yourself on your parts in your shop!

This thigns are very tricky andmany thigns abotu the parts or the enviroment can give you bad data. The same thing goes forthe software. Make sure you can make it do everythign you want it to do.

You may wish to give them a call. The company name was XYZ RGB (because of a special single tube RGB laser I think) for inspection and color applications.
You can get their contact info of their site at www.xyzrgb.com
p.s. their system was also mounted to a CMM.

I have also seem scans coming from gom that were perfect too. But no demo.
