Aerospace GOM systems support the aerospace industry and its suppliers by providing precise part geometries and material characteristics. This data is used as input parameters for finite element simulations and flow analyses, for verification of simulations against real measurements in wind tunnels and climate chambers as well as for reverse engineering. Furthermore, optical 3D scanners are suited for quality control of complex freeform surfaces. Therefore, they are used to inspect airfoils of aircraft engines, terrestrial gas & steam turbines and […]

Automotive In the automotive industry, GOM systems are used during the entire new product development process. In product development, measuring data provide information from crash and fatigue tests, climate chambers, wind tunnels and tire test rigs about material characteristics and part behavior. The results influence the simulation and construction. In the quality control, which is becoming increasingly automated, the full-field geometry acquisition by 3D scanning provides the data basis to inspect forms and tools, castings, plastic and sheet metal parts […]
