3D Scan And CAD Comparisons Of Large Castings

The MetraSCAN 3D scanner supports many processes in the production of large foundry patterns made of wood, plastic block materials, and foam.

The core business of Duisburger Modellfabrik GmbH is the production of large foundry patterns made of wood, plastic block materials and foam for the manufacture of steam and gas turbines, engine beds, and diesel engines and components for wind turbines in steel, grey or nodular iron castings.

More and more frequently, customers are requesting a comparison of the manufactured model equipment with the original CAD data. A model of the equipment consists of the model and core boxes. These then serve in the foundry as tools for creating a mould for individual parts. The digital surveying service was initially purchased externally by Duisburger Modellfabrik for their first few years of operation.

The decision was soon made to purchase their own measuring system in order to reduce costs and avoid frictional losses between the model builder and surveyor. Since the company manufactures components of several meters in length, width and height, it was important to find a 3D measuring system that could scan large surfaces quickly and easily. Of course, not at the expense of accuracy.

Since the company did not have a dedicated measuring room, the measuring system had to be portable and able to withstand adverse environmental influences such as dust, dirt and vibration. In other words, the company should be able to use it virtually anywhere.
