Structured Light Scanning Technology Gives 3D Engineering Solutions Full Range of Tools for Increased Accuracy in 3D Scanning Service
3D Engineering Solutions Recently Acquired a Structured Light Scanning Tool That Uses Blue Light LED Technology to Capture a Wide Range of Objects for Multiple Applications with Micron-Accuracy
3D Engineering Solutions acquired a portable, structured light scanning tool, shown, which uses blue light LED technology to capture a variety of objects with micron-accuracy.
Cincinnati, OH - 3D Engineering Solutions has added another dimension to their 3D laser scanning services with the acquisition of a structured light scanning tool, the Steinbichler Comet L3D, which uses LED blue light technology and can capture up to two million points in 1.5 seconds. 3D Engineering has already used the new technology for turbine blade and impeller inspection, and mold and tool making. The structured light scanner is useful in applications such as 3D scanning, quality control, tool making, reverse engineering, rapid manufacturing and design.
3D Engineering Solutions Vice President Rob Glassburn said, "It's unusual for a company to have the full range of tools we have to cover different component sizes and accuracies. The Steinbichler tool is great for capturing anything with a lot of sharp edges and detail - Xeven small medical instruments." 3D Engineering can integrate photogrammetry with the structured light scanning, which increases ability to measure larger parts. "We can capture entire vehicles," said Glassburn. "We can get accuracies as small as .0003 inches." In addition to the photogrammetry accessory, 3D Engineering has a 2-axis integrated turn table, which allows for automated inspection.
In addition to increased portability of equipment, benefits of structured blue light scanning over structured white light scanning include a longer-lasting light source and lower temperature influence due to LEDs, the ability to scan a well-lit room, and the ability to filter out other light present when capturing an object. "This technology is about 3D data acquisition with a lot finer detail and greater resolution - Xespecially when working with small parts," said Glassburn.
