Using structured light 3D scanner can perform three-dimensional
scans can acquire shapes of objects in a few seconds, thanks to a “cloud
of points”. The precision and the high density of points allow detect
any superficial detail.
The development of three-dimensional scanning generates STL polygonal
models. The next step is to create IGES files using a powerful and
dedicated program of Reverse Engineering.
Hence with CAD / CAM process and the use of CNC machines is obtained
by a pattern for sand casting gravity. Once developed the model it is
possible to start the production of the castings: exact replicas of the
original sample. If required after casting pre-processing, inspections,
machining and finishing can go on.
This process allows us to solve quickly and at a low cost for special
situations such as the implementation of new equipment and new
components on the basis of a sample only (particularly interesting in
the case of restoration of cars and motorcycles as often original spare
parts are no longer available on the market), or even if the need is to
“copy” old foundry equipment, damaged, of which you do not have 3D
files.
You can replicate small and simple equipment such as for the clutch
covers, but also tools and more complex components such as wheels, suspension
uprights and gearboxes.
