Aircraft PMA Components InspectionProduct

manufacturer specializing in the design, certification, and production of key aircraft components

Reduced Setup Time: Unlike CMM, the FreeScan Combo+ does not require detailed programming before scanning. For the same part, a CMM would take 2-3 days to set up the program and start collecting data. With the FreeScan Combo+, all you need to do is connect the power supply to the computer,and the data can be captured in less than half a day. No Jig or Fixture Requirement: The 3D scanner’s ability to collect data without the need for part fixation or complex jigs streamlined the process. In some cases, parts inspection by CMM requires the use of multiple fixtures, which can take up to three days to design and manufacture. However, with the 3D scanner, you have the freedom to change the angle of the scanner for scanning or to flip the part over. Portable and Ease of Use: The FreeScan Combo+ is a real lightweight scanner that can be taken anywhere for scanning easily. That's what CMM can't handle. It was also recognized for its user-friendly interface. The company found it easy to operate, even for team members without specialized skills in 3D scanning. “You'll only need half a day at most to familiarize yourself with how to use it,” an employee said.

inspect stamping parts as soon as they were produced — without waiting for fixturesProduct

Automotive Stamping Parts Manufacturer

Replacing traditional fixtures with a general-purpose 3D scanning system frees manufacturers from the lengthy fixture development process entirely. That time saving — weeks or even months per part — is a huge advantage in the race to launch new models. In fact, compared to traditional fixtures, high‑precision 3D scanning offers three clear advantages: 1. Faster project timelines. A typical fixture takes 1.5 to 2 months to design and build. By eliminating this waiting period, Yinrui can start inspecting parts immediately — cutting project time by at least one-third. 2. Lower costs. Custom fixtures can cost thousands of dollars per part, and complex parts may even require two separate fixtures. With a 3D scanner, the same device handles any shape, eliminating the need for new tooling on every part and delivering substantial savings over time. 3. Non-contact, risk‑free measurement. Traditional fixtures often use probes or gauges that touch the part surface. For thin, easily deformed stamping parts, this contact can be risky. A non-contact scanner captures geometry without any physical pressure, keeping the part in its original condition. For Yinrui, the move to high-precision 3D scanning has delivered measurable results: shorter lead times, lower costs, and a more flexible inspection process. The company no longer waits weeks for fixtures. It no longer pays thousands of dollars per part for custom tooling. And its quality team can now inspect a much wider variety of parts with the same device.

To improves quality inspection, fixture verification, and reverse engineering in construction machinery manufacturing at LiuGong. Many exterior panels and structural components feature complex freeform surfaces that cannot be accurately measured using conventional tools such as tape measures or calipers. At the same time, fixture positioning and assembly accuracy require fast, reliable inspection methods that minimize production downtime. In product development, legacy components often lack complete CAD data, making redesign and product upgrades both time-consuming and labor-intensive. LiuGong needed a versatile measurement solution capable of delivering high accuracy, portability, and efficient digital data acquisition throughout the entire manufacturing workflow.Product

construction machinery manufacturer

By introducing SHINING 3D's high-accuracy 3D scanning technology, LiuGong established a digital measurement workflow that supports quality inspection, fixture verification, and reverse engineering. Unlike traditional measurement tools, the handheld 3D scanners accurately capture complex geometries regardless of part size or surface complexity. Engineers can quickly generate high-resolution 3D data and directly compare scan results with CAD models, allowing dimensional deviations to be identified immediately. Production fixtures involve numerous complex spatial dimensions, making them difficult to inspect accurately and efficiently using conventional measuring tools. During production, high-accuracy 3D scanners enable fast, on-site inspection of fixtures with minimal disruption to manufacturing operations. Their portable design allows engineers to verify critical dimensions and geometric tolerances directly on the shop floor, ensuring that fixtures consistently meet the required precision standards. High-accuracy 3D scanning has also become an essential tool for product development. For many legacy products where original CAD models are unavailable or incomplete, engineers can digitize physical components and quickly reconstruct accurate 3D models for redesign and optimization. This reverse engineering workflow eliminates one of the biggest obstacles in upgrading older products while significantly reducing development time. One example involved the redesign of an operator cab. Instead of recreating the geometry manually, engineers captured the existing structure using 3D scanning and used the digital model as the foundation for the new design, greatly improving development efficiency. Today, high-precision 3D scanning has become an integral part of LiuGong's manufacturing workflow. From digital quality inspection and fixture verification to reverse engineering and product innovation, the technology enables faster, more accurate, and more efficient measurement t

3D scanning, inspection, and reverse engineering for an large industrial agitator componentProduct

Hydro-turbines metrology inspection service provider

The clarifier cover was digitized in a single day using the FreeScan Trak Nova system. Multiple scan datasets were captured from different orientations to ensure complete surface coverage. The resulting 3D model served as the foundation for inspection, engineering analysis, and CAD reconstruction. The scan data was imported into PolyWorks, where the engineering team analyzed dimensional features, verified alignment surfaces, and identified all critical geometries needed for accurate reproduction. By combining several large scan files, the team ensured complete coverage and precise measurement of the component. With the completed scan data in place, Buffalo Metrology’s engineering team transformed the high-resolution 3D mesh into a fully detailed CAD model of the clarifier cover. Rather than simply copying the damaged part, the team extracted all critical dimensions from the scan and rebuilt the model. The replacement clarifier cover will be fabricated from an industry-standard grade of carbon steel suitable for agitation applications. Material selection, structural considerations, and dimensional accuracy are all guided by the nominal model derived from the 3D scan data. Buffalo Metrology will engineer a reinforced assembly based on the nominal model and the operational demands of the agitator system. The new design will incorporate welded center supports and structural enhancements to ensure the cover can withstand the significant loads generated during mixing operations.
