When a part goes out of production or drawings need updating, 3D scanning can help you speed up your design workflow and meet customer obligations.
It’s a challenge that becomes more common by the day: A smaller manufacturer can no longer get critical parts from their supplier, but drawings don’t exist. How will they continue to meet customer contracts? OR, drawings have changed over the decades but weren’t documented along the way. How long would it take to reverse engineer that key part and get work flowing again?
3D scanning technology offers very real benefits to small and medium-sized manufacturers in a variety of areas, including reverse engineering to solve supply chain challenges or to embrace additive manufacturing. Polaris MEP has teamed up with 3D scanning specialist Christopher Wilczewski for a series of fast-paced webinars about the applications of 3D scanning in manufacturing.
This third and final “episode” in our Spring 2022 series focuses on the potential benefits of 3D scanning for reverse engineering/CAD.
WHAT TO EXPECT
1) Overview of the role 3D scans play in the “new” reverse engineering
2) Understand how you can create Surface CAD bodies to be used in traditional CAD applications – even with organically shaped or hand made objects
3) Hear how 3D scans can allow for modern manufacturing such as Additive / 3D printing or forging
4) Manufacturer Mini-Success Story
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
- Owners, Founders, senior executives of RI manufacturing companies
- Engineering, Maintenance, Procurement leads
- Operations, Production leads
