FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you perform 3D scanning on-site at our manufacturing plant?
Yes. Our engineers travel across India with portable HandySCAN 3D, optical CMMs, and laser trackers to scan parts, dies, tooling, and vehicle bodies directly on your shop floor without disassembly.

How do 3D scanning and reverse engineering differ?
3D scanning captures the raw physical surface geometry as a dense polygonal mesh (.STL). Reverse engineering takes that scan mesh and reconstructs a fully parametric, editable 3D CAD model (STEP, IGES, SolidWorks, NX) with design intent and standard geometric features.

What is a color deviation inspection map?
A color deviation map is a 3D visual comparison of the scanned physical part overlaid against the nominal CAD model. Color gradients (green = in tolerance, red = excess material, blue = undersize) immediately highlight manufacturing warpage, shrinkage, or machining errors.

Can dark, shiny, or transparent surfaces be scanned?
Yes. Our blue laser and structured light scanners handle dark and metallic surfaces directly. For highly reflective chrome or clear glass, a temporary sublimating scan spray is applied that evaporates completely without residue.

What accuracy can we expect for automotive and aerospace components?
We achieve volumetric accuracy down to 0.020 mm to 0.040 mm depending on part size and sensor setup, fully verified against VDI/VDE 2634 and ISO 10360 metrology standards.
