Applied 3D Scanning & Printing Technologies - NEPIRC Hanover Twp.

Is your manufacturing design cycle dragging on? Do you have parts without digital drawings? Would you like to check the fit of a part before you mass produce it? Do you need to fixture a part in an awkward position? Would you like to get a few parts made without facing a huge minimum buy? The answer to these questions is the use of 3D Scanning and Printing. 3D scanning technology can be applied at any point in a typical manufacturing cycle, saving time, money and material. 3D scanning results in higher quality and better fitting parts that are less costly to manufacture. The cost of a typical manufacturing design cycle is reduced by 75% by utilizing 3D scanning. The most common applications of 3D scanning in manufacturing fall into three categories: 1. Quality Control 2. Prototyping & 3D printing 3. Reverse Engineering & CAD creation NEPIRC offers a two-hour seminar that will show you how easy and efficient 3D Scanning and Printing can be for your company. Come and see an actual demonstration of how to scan a part and prepare it for printing. You will also see how to take that scanned part and convert it into a digital SolidWorks file that you can print or mass produce conventionally. 3D Scanning and Printing Advantages: · Quickly capture the physical measurements of any physical object · Save time in design work · Ensure parts will fit together on the first try · Capture engineering optimizations inherent in manufactured parts · Utilize modern manufacturing on parts that were originally manufactured before CAD · Compare “as-designed” model to “as-built” condition of manufactured parts
