Ship

With the ArtecRay, the 130m long hull of the CLI Pride was digitized in 3.5 hours. The video shows part of the scan data.

RoboScan

The RoboScan project by DUWE-3D demonstrates automatic scanning with Surphaser and an autonomously driving driving platform.

Deutsche Jugendherberge München

Have you ever been to the German Youth Hostel in Munich?
The video shows a hike through the historic part that is currently under renovation.
The interior was recorded with an ArtecRay with color information for each scan point.
The precise 3D data allows a structural assessment of the building.
A total of seventeen 360 °-scans were recorded in 2.5 hours.

Comparison to terrestrical laser scanner

The Surphaser laser scanners provide better measurement accuracy and a much smaller measurement noise than any terrestrial laser scanner. Due to the smaller laser beam diameter, the Surphaser delivers a very high detail resolution. These advantages can be seen e.g. in the 3D digitization of a car or industrial plant.

The point clouds of a car side mirror area are shown in the upper image row.
The generated STL data (mesh) are shown in the lower image row:

System demonstration of the Artec Ray

Artec Ray is used to digitise large objects. The combination with the Artec hand scanners gives global precision with locally high resolution.

The video shows an overview of the system and some applications.

360° Scan of car interior

The complete interiour of a car is completely digitized with the Surphaser in 5 minutes.

The image shows the 360° image of a single scan of a raw car body (Cubing).

Steam Engine Housing

The housing of a low pressure steam engine (Siemens AG / Mühlheim) is digitised after the molding (before CNC tooling) from inside and outside to realise a dimensional inspection. A sufficient surface coverage is achieved here with 7 scans within 1,5 hours.

To the application report.

Deformation Measurement of Stone arch Bridge

The deformation of a stone brodge is measured by comparing the scans of unloaded bridge and loaded state.

SurphSLAM- Buildings and Street

Large areas are scanned with the mobile laser scanner SurphSLAM. The scan data is references in realtime during the scanning process.

Crashtest Dummy

The Surphaser 75USR is used for the digitisation of a dummy doll. To acquire the relevant parts can be scanned with only 2 scans for the head and 3 scans for the body.

The images show from left to right:
1. Point cloud from 3 scans
2. Polygonised dummy body
3. Polygonised dummy head

Industry 4.0 - Digitisation of a Factory hall

Digitization of a factory hall with a Surphaser. With the 360 ° camera iStar, a high-quality color image is additionally recorded. The color information is automatically mapped to the point cloud. The current Surphaser models already have built-in color cameras. All Surphaser models deliver high-quality monochrome images.

The image shows a view of the 3D point cloud with mapped color.

Completeness test

In the case of railway wagons, the completeness test of components is carried out with a Surphaser. The approx. 20m long wagon (glossy stainless steel) is digitized within one hour with a few scans and without surface preparation.The automatic comparison (Polyworks) of the scan data with the CAD data detects missing or incorrectly positioned components.

The picture shows a wagon with the automatically marked attachments.

Flatness test

For checking flatness tolerances according to DIN 18202, a Surphaser is very well suited due to its high measuring accuracy. The model 400 has a measuring noise of 0.2mm (0.9mm) up to 30m (160m) distance.

The picture shows the color-coded deviation of a subsequently heat-insulated external facade (width = 8m) to a best-fit plane.

Architecture and Historical Heritage

Buildings are 3D scanned for document purposes or for modelling.

Factory

Factories are digitised with high precision by using the Surphaser. The low noise point clouds are the base for the modelling and the documentation of e.g. the pipe structure or complete factories. The built in camera gives color information to the point cloud.

The video shows a part of a factory that was scanned with 7 scans.

UK Metro

The bottom of the trains are scanned regularly for inventory and documentation of damages.

Advantages of the Surphaser:

1. Reduction of the scan time from 2 days (with structured light scanner) down to several hours.
2. Reduction of post processing time from 5-6 days to 1 days due to the higher data quality.
3. Due to the large scan range and capability to measure in deep cavities the Surphaser achieved a better surphaser coverage with only a few scans.
