A glowing red line passes over the replacement part. The part is slowly scanned by the scanner and is completely measured as a result. A short time later, the article has become a 3D image in the computer \u2013 the laser scanner has made this possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The equipment was purchased just a few years ago for bilstein group Engineering<\/a>. It is the prerequisite for so-called “reverse engineering”. Using this process, the production area of the bilstein group can first digitize car and commercial vehicle replacement parts and then manufacture them in its own production hall in identical or even higher quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Smallest Details are Captured <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the first step, the already mentioned Nikon 3D laser scanner is used. With this powerful tool, the original part is thoroughly measured. An OE replacement part is always used as a sample. The device works within a tolerance range of 0.05 to 0.08 mm – an accuracy in which even the smallest details can be captured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In less than three hours, the article is completely scanned. The data is then processed with a CAD program (reverse engineering) and processed into a design plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
