3D Scanning

3D scanning is dramatically faster than traditional methods of data collection, such as tripod-based scanners, measuring arms, or CMMs. At Absolute3D, we offer 3D scanning services at our fully equipped Melbourne studio or on location anywhere in Australia. Our advanced 3D laser scanner boasts an accuracy of 20 microns, with adjustable resolutions down to 25 microns. It’s truly portable, taking just minutes to set up and be ready to scan.

After scanning, we can convert the data into CAD models in neutral formats such as STEP, IGES, and Parasolid, compatible with all major CAD programs. Alternatively, we can provide native parametric models for SolidWorks, CATIA, and Siemens NX users.

Our 3D scanning services can be integrated with our design and manufacturing capabilities to create and reproduce parts for a wide range of applications.

Applications

Quality control

Go through product batches with a fine-tooth comb to ensure they meet desired tolerances and quality standards before they’re installed or shipped to customers.

Reverse engineering

Accuracy is a cornerstone of effective reverse engineering – capture exact geometric representations for comparison, or turning into duplicates for iteration.

Retrofitting

Capture parts no longer in circulation, convert to CAD, and remanufacture for modern applications – making improvements as you see fit.

Creating aftermarket parts

Design new parts like custom automotive hoods that fit perfectly onto existing geometries with a submillimeter-accurate 3D scanner.

Maintenance, repair, and overhaul

Digitize damaged parts with high accuracy to find defects, uncover out-of-tolerance geometries, and carry out repairs that keep assemblies and workflows operating.

Inspection at any scale

Ensure that any small-to-medium-sized product will perform as desired. Whether in small batches or at an industrial scale, our class-leading scanners are ideal for checking parts in fine detail.

Industries

With metrology-grade accuracy our range of 3D scanners can be applied across industries, but it’s best suited to the following:

Automotive

Agile, lightweight, ultra-accurate 3D scanning is the perfect mix for capturing everything from vehicle hoods, door panels, and spoilers, to tricky-to-navigate interiors.

Aerospace

Meeting ultra-fine tolerances can be tricky at the best of times. Our metrology grade laser scanners delivers outstanding accuracy for capturing tricky, shiny airfoil surfaces.

Manufacturing

No matter which technology you use – machining, injection molding, casting or something else entirely, our scanning service is an excellent high-speed, non-contact QI solution.

Heavy industry

Even when it comes to capturing large, heavy-duty objects, our equipment is up to the challenge. Accurately digitize anything from tiny bolts to iron castings with ease.

Mold-making

Non-compliant molds will only yield sub-par parts. Our scanner’s hyper-fine scanning mode to closely evaluate their geometries before entering full production.

Energy

Whether it be piston heads or pipes in offshore networks, our equipment is perfect for inspecting fitted parts in the energy sector to see if they need repairing or replacing.

Other Services

Design

Absolute3D provides a comprehensive reverse engineering and CAD (computer-aided design) modeling service. Our in-depth knowledge of manufacturing processes and material properties, allows us to design parts and products for a diverse range of industries. For manufacturing purposes, we provide CAD models in neutral formats such as STEP, IGES, or Parasolid. If redesigning parts is the objective, we offer native parametric models for SolidWorks, Inventor, and CATIA users. Drawings can be supplied in DXF, DWG, or PDF format.

3D Inspection

3D inspection involves comparing scan data against reference data, typically a CAD model or technical drawing. This process is essential in manufacturing and quality control to ensure that parts are produced accurately. To verify that a part meets specified tolerances, we 3D scan the item and compare the scan data to the original reference data used by the manufacturer. Manufacturing flaws often result in parts that don’t meet tolerance levels.

The team were highly responsive from the point of my initial request for quote through to working with me to schedule time on-site at the workshop.  Pride in their work was clear along with a can-do attitude. The engineer’s scope requested was met on time and we hit our deadline. We will work with Absolute 3D again.
