3D technologies helped in the creation of a custom trailer

Briefly: The Calibry 3D scanner was used to digitize the truck frame in order to use the scan in reverse engineering to produce a custom trailer.
Task: Scan the data in high resolution to obtain an accurate 3D model
Tools: Calibry 3D scanner, Calibry Nest software and Rhinoceros 7.

The result obtained: a 3D model of the frame with minimal deviations was obtained.
Global 3D has completed an interesting reverse engineering project. The customer wanted to create a new trailer for the Scania truck. To do this, he needed to know the exact location of all the assembly elements in order to produce a trailer that would ideally fit the truck frame. To accomplish this task, it was decided to use the Calibry scanner.

High-resolution scans were required for reverse engineering, so experts used markers to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the scan. It took about 6 hours to prepare (apply markers, calibrate), scan itself, and post-process in Calibry Nest. As a result, a point cloud was created.:

Based on the point cloud, a 3D model of the frame was made, containing all the necessary elements and mounting holes. In addition, wheels, a fuel tank, and other components were added as a precaution to make sure the trailer fits exactly. The model was made in Rhino 7 software.

The last stage of the project was to check the compliance of the scanned model.

As a result, the customer received a ready-made model that could be safely used to create a trailer.
