Reverse engineering of the metal bracket
Using the RangeVision PRO 3D scanner, the specialists were able to scan the geometry of the metal bracket in order to further build a 3D model for the reconstruction of die tooling.
More and more manufacturers are learning about 3D scanning and successfully applying this technology in practice, which makes it possible to reduce the number of pre-production stages and optimize costs.
With the help of 3D scanning, engineers can obtain information about the geometry of a product many times faster than using traditional measuring instruments such as calipers, tape measures, micrometers, and others.
Today, it is enough to build a layout of any size from any material, scan its geometry and use the data obtained to build a 3D model of the product suitable for production.
RangeVision solves similar tasks every week. One of these projects will be discussed in this article.
A customer contacted the RangeVision branch in Nizhny Novgorod, whose task was to scan the geometry of a metal bracket and build its mathematical model.
The customer chose 3D scanning as the main measuring tool for all geometry parameters. His further goal was to obtain an accurate parametric model suitable for repairing production equipment.
The bracket was stamped from a 2.5 mm steel sheet with dimensions of 300×100×90 mm.

The bracket was stamped from a 2.5 mm steel sheet with dimensions of 300×100×90 mm.
The task was complicated by the fact that during the stamping process, internal stresses accumulated in the metal, which, after being removed from the stamping tooling, distorted the original geometry.
The bracket had significant shape warps that could not be fixed without special tools.
Despite this complicating factor, the RangeVision engineer accepted the order.
The bracket was digitized by a RangeVision PRO 2M 3D scanner in free mode without using markers.

In the process of building the model, the engineer carried out verification — combining the original scan with the built model in the GOM Inspect program. As a result, a parametric model was constructed that eliminates all warping and deformations of the bracket shape.
The time for 3D scanning and warping analysis with appropriate measurements was 6 hours. It took a total of 10 hours to build the 3D model. Thus, the task was completed in 2 business days.
The customer received a high-precision 3D model for further reconstruction or repair of the die tooling and for the continuation of the manufacture of this product.

The preparation time for repairs was significantly reduced, as measuring this part using traditional methods would take a longer time, and the result would be less accurate.
The customer was satisfied with the quality of the result obtained, which was achieved using the RangeVision PRO 2M 3D scanner.
Such examples clearly demonstrate how 3D scanning simplifies the solution of complex production tasks.
