Follow on Google News | 3D Scanning Boosts Aviation Inspection and Product DevelopmentBy: 3d-scantech NIKI Rotor Gyrocopter Manufacturing Company NIKI Rotor Aviation, a Bulgarian company, specializes in producing gyrocopters which blend the best of airplanes and helicopters. For Inspection and Product Development (https://www.3d- Finished Product Inspection: Utilize a 3D scanner to inspect the finished gyrocopter, ensuring it meets design specifications and quality standards. Product Development: What Part To Be Inspected One of the primary components NIKI Rotor needs to 3D scan is a large, intricately designed frame of their gyrocopters. This frame, measuring approximately 2m x 1m x 3m, is made of black carbon fiber with a bright yellow paint finish. Measurement Challenges Traditional measurement methods fall short when faced with such a complex and sizable component. The primary challenges include: High Precision Requirements: Wide Range of Sizes: Gyrocopter components vary significantly in size, from small precision parts to large structural components. Complex Geometries: Gyrocopter components typically have intricate curves and geometric shapes, including rotor blades and fuselage structures. Surface Characteristics: Scantech's 3D Solutions To address these challenges, NIKI Rotor turned to Scantech's cutting-edge 3D scanning technology, specifically the TrackScan-Sharp optical 3D measurement system (https://www.3d- Benefits of 3D Solutions The advantages of using Scantech's 3D solutions are manifold: Accuracy: TrackScan-Sharp can measure the dimensions and tolerances of gyrocopter components accurately with accuracy of up to 0.025 mm , ensuring they meet design specifications. Efficiency: The TrackScan-Sharp's large tracking volume allows for a complete scan in a single shot, significantly reducing inspection time. Simplicity: The system's ability to scan without targets simplifies the process. For Inspection Surface Quality Assessment: High-resolution scanning allows for detailed inspection of surface quality, identifying any defects or imperfections that may affect performance. Data Clarity: The resulting comparison drawings clearly highlight discrepancies between the CAD model and the actual component. For Product Development Accurate 3D Models: The system generates precise 3D models of existing gyrocopter parts, facilitating the extraction of geometric data needed for creating or updating engineering drawings. Design Optimization: Conclusion Trackscan-Sharp provides valuable data support, enabling customers to correct CAD designs and improve overall product development. By doing so, it accelerates the research and development cycle while minimizing trial-and-error costs. End
