I )KTDMC
Equipment Used For 3D Scanning/Reverse Engineering

i). GOM 3D Scanner

ii). Carl Zeiss CMM Machine

i). GOM 3D Scanner :

The ATOS Triple Scan uses a specially developed measuring and projection technology from GOM.
Using this brand new technology the ATOS Triple Scan produces a high accuracy and improved
measurement of shiny surface, complete data on complex components with deep pockets or fine
edges such as turbine blades, reducing the number of individual scans and resulting in a simple
handling.

Blue Light Technology

The ATOS Triple Scan is also equipped with blue light technology. The narrowband blue light enables
precise measurements to be carried out independently of environmental lighting conditions.

High Resolution 3D Scanner from small to large

ATOS uses high resolution measuring cameras with up to 16 megapixel resolution and specially
developed optics for precise measurement.
The accuracy, measurement resolution and measuring area are completely adaptable to the
application requirements. This allows for the highest resolution for highly detailed, small parts with
measuring volumes down to 38mm, or for extremely fast digitizing of large objects with measuring
volumes up to 2m.
This flexibility allows measurement of a large part spectrum with the same sensor head, and when
used in combination with TRITOP, the ATOS System is capable of scanning parts of over 30m with a
high local resolution.

Industrial advantages for industrial processes

The ATOS 3D Digitizer is an accurate and cost-effective solution in a number of different application
areas including:

Quality Control
Reverse Engineering
Rapid Prototyping
Rapid Milling
Digital Mock-Up

ATOS 3D Digitizers have been produced and constantly developed since 1995 and with more than
2500 installations in measurement and analysis rooms as well as factory and production halls
worldwide, the ATOS has been for a long time an accepted measurement method beside the
mechanical measurement machines.
The ATOS sensor combines high data quality in short measurement time with flexibility and stability
for industrial environments.

ii). Carl Zeiss CMM Machine:

Spectrum bridge-type CMM is an entry level CMM that meets the markets demand for an economical model, with
Carl Zeiss machine, sensor and software technology. This model is designed for general measurement, and can be
configured to meet your specific needs.
Key Features
Carl Zeiss RDS-C5 articulating probe holder with our XDT multi-point sensor or Renishaw TP20 touch-trigger.
Measure angled features in difficult to reach locations. The articulating probe holder offers +/- 180 degrees of bidirectional rotation and permits indexing steps of 5 degrees reaching 5,184 angular positions for either sensor.
SPECTRUM can also be configured with the XDT directly for general prismatic applications.
CAA (Computer Aided Accuracy) ensures computer-aided error correction of the dynamic deformations of the
machine technology.

Machine Technology
The granite machine table underscores the sturdy construction of this measuring machine.
4-side air bearings from Carl Zeiss ensure more stability and measuring precision.
The controller, software, sensors and additional components are ZEISS products and are optimally matched to each
other.
The computer-independent standard control panel permits manual control via the joystick at a measuring location
away from the computer. Speed during CNC operation is controlled via the overdrive knob.

Reverse Engineering (RE):

The 3D digitizer/ Scanner is capable of scanning objects both in gray

and color mode. The polygon editing tool is used to PET enables you to
control the VIVID and easily scan, polygonize, edit, and convert the
scanned data into any of several common data formats. Multiple scans
can be easily registered and merged into a single watertight polygonal
model. Editing functions include: fill holes; filter irregular polygons and
noise; and perform smoothing. PET exports data in industry-standard
formats including: DXF, STL etc.
for accurate transfer to a variety of 3D application like Inspection, Reverse Engineering and Rapid Prototyping. The
FAROARM is a portable CMM that increases measurement productivity and flexibility and enhances accuracy in any
production environment.

Features of the FARO Scan Arm

The FARO Scan Arm adds unparalleled non-contact measurement capabilities to your Faro Arm.
The Scan Arm is a seven-axis contact/non-contact measurement system with a fully integrated laser scanner. It
enables users to collect simple point variations with the Faro Arms hard probe, then laser scan sections requiring
larger volumes of data.
Get maximum data handling, accuracy, and efficiency in one combined package

2)Rapid Manufacturing :
Paramount is innovatively establishing new levels of achievement in rapid manufacturing, producing finished parts for
highly-specialized applications direct from 3D CAD digital input, thus dispensing with the costly and time-consuming
process of tool making.
Utilizing recently-developed materials with superior functional characteristics, Paramount engineers apply their
mastery of the selective laser sintering process to achieve new plateaus in quality and durability. Parts from rapid
manufacturing meet exceedingly demanding specifications in defense-aerospace hardware, homeland security and
medical applications.

Benefits of Using Rapid Manufacturing

Manufacturing finished parts direct from digital input is a breakthrough technological advancement. The benefits of
rapid manufacturing include:
Eliminating the costly and time-consuming process of tool making by producing parts direct from computer-generated
3D CAD solid models.
Users add significant speed and flexibility to their production operations with free form fabrication applying additive
manufacturing processes.
Designers are freed from traditional manufacturing processes allowing them to create with less restrictions.
Finished systems can be completed and deployed faster.
Design changes can be implemented with total flexibility at any time, with no wasted inventory of obsolete parts and
no lag time for expensive and time-consuming tool changes.

3)Rapid Tooling :
Building on our expertise in product engineering and prototyping, Paramount Industries has become a world leader in
rapid tooling. Our services are distinguished for utilization of the most advanced concept/bridge, prototype and lowvolume rapid tooling processes, and materials in the creation of tooling through applications of high-speed CNC
machining, and stereo lithography. Paramount has set new standards for rapid tooling in a variety of industrial and
consumer product applications.
Rapid tooling continues to offer opportunity for discovery. During the mid '90s when the phrase "Rapid Tooling" was
first used, it described any method that would replicate an injection mold to manufacture a physical plastic or metal
part. The name was coined as an extension of rapid prototyping. Rapid tooling included the development of rubber
molds, plaster molds, ceramic molds and metal molds. Today, advanced technologies, processes and business
practices are the foundation upon which rapid tooling is no longer dependent on prototype models and has become

an established practice in widespread applications, saving manufacturers considerable time and money in product
development.
The search for a cost and time effective tool-making process was not born of rapid prototyping. It is not a product of
the '90s. In fact, cast composite tooling resin systems, spray metal, cast metal, sintered metal molds (3M Tartan
process) pre-date CNC. These processes standing alone are no more or less rapid today than twenty years ago.
What has inspired this new wave of innovation is the rapid prototype model. What has fueled financial investments
into technology driven mold-making techniques is the need for faster development processes. An increased
awareness of the benefits derived from aggressive prototyping in the development process, has given rise to
demands for better quality and performance from rapid tooling processes. The thrust behind this innovation is the
need to compress product development time. The engine is the 3D CAD solid model. The fuel has been solid freeform fabrication systems (SFF), and the wheels are new business practices (agile manufacturing paradigms).
