[3D Digitisation]
This page lists some application examples of the Surphaser laser scanner.
The sub-millimeter precise 3D component digitization with the Surphaser serves as the basis for
- Production of a CAD model (reverse engineering)
- Quality control (target/actual comparison)
- Feature extraction
- Documentation/inventory
- BIM (building data modeling)
3D Scan of a 130m long ShipThe Surphaser Model 10 was used to scan the 130m long hull of the CLI Pride in 3.5 hours. |
Automatic 3D scanning with mobile platformThe RoboScan project by DUWE-3D demonstrates automatic scanning with Surphaser and an autonomously driving driving platform. |
3D scan of the Deutsche Jugendherberge MünchenHave you ever been to the German Youth Hostel in Munich? |
Data quality of the Surphaser laser scanner compared to a terrestrial laser scannerThe Surphaser laser scanners provide better measurement accuracy and a much smaller measurement noise than any other terrestrial laser scanner. The point clouds of a car side mirror area are shown in the upper image row. |
Cubing: Efficient 3D scanning of an entire car interior using a Surphaser laser scanner in just 5 minutesWith the Surphaser 75USR, a car interior can be completely digitized in 5 minutes. |
Dimensional accuracy testing of a large steam turbine housing using a laser scannerFor the dimensional accuracy check against the CAD model, the entire housing half (inner and outer surfaces) of a low-pressure steam turbine (Siemens AG / Mühlheim) is completely digitalized in 3D. |
Deformation Measurement of a Stone arch Bridge with laser scannerBy comparing scans of a stone arch bridge in the unloaded and loaded states, the deformation of the bridge is measured. |
3D Scan of a crash test dummyThe Surphaser 75USR is used for the 3D 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: |
3D scan of the interior of a Porsche Cayenne
With the Surphaser 75USR, the entire car interior is digitized in just a few scans. Total time spent: less than an hour. The surface was not prepared.
Compared to classic 3D scanners with cameras, the Model 75 USR has a very large depth measurement range, which means that complex geometries can be captured with just a few scans.
The Images shows different views of the scan data.
Industry 4.0 - 3D Digitisation of a factory hall mit Surphaser laser scanner
The digitization of a factory hall with a Surphaser laser scanner delivers high 3D data quality with additional color information. The image shows the 3D point cloud with color information. |
Completeness test of attachments by 3D scan of a train wagonIn 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 the wagon with the automatically marked attachments. |
Flatness test of a building facadeFor the examination of the 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. |
BIM: Capturing precise 3D data with laser scanners in architecture and cultural heritageFor documentation, visualization and modeling, buildings and historical assets are recorded three-dimensionally with the Surphaser laser scanner. |
BIM: 3D digitization and modeling of an industrial plantThe Surphaser laser scanner digitizes industrial systems and plants with high precision. The 3D point clouds are of very high quality due to the low measurement noise and provide a significant advantage in the subsequent modeling of pipe runs and entire industrial plants, for example. The built-in camera gives the point cloud additional color information. The video shows a complex industrial plant that was captured with 7 individual scans. |
3D inventory of the underbody of UK Metro carriages by scanning with a Surphaser laser scannerThe 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. The images are property of Simon Stone Mech innovation Limited. |
