During the manufacture of molds, dies and tools, manual retouching on the machining model is often required. This is to optimize or correct unforeseen problems arising during the design or production. When this happens, it is interesting to preserve the geometry of the mold or die in a digital format to regenerate when they deteriorate with use.
We must note that in many cases the mold is already in production and so measuring it in the shortest time can help the cost reduction.
The current trend in this direction is to achieve a massive digitization of points to describe as accurately as possible mold or useful in order to directly machine the resulting file. However, conducting a reverse engineering process involves a high cost in time and a possible source of error. The optical scanning system Triple, thanks to its portability, allows scanning the mold, die or tools to the customer. And thanks to its speed and high resolution, scanning objects can be done in the shortest possible time intervening in the production process. All this without forgetting the necessary accuracy for this kind of work. In the sample images, you can see some scans where the result is used to machine directly.
Triple scanning system allows:
recovering the geometry of the mold after having been modified manually
using this geometry to regenerate it when it is overused
obtained directly the files from the machine and avoiding reverse engineering, a high source of mistakes
measuring the mold or matrix in-situ, reducing the costs of time stood on the line Hardware used: Triple Advance System Photogrammetry
