3D laser scanning offers speed & precision to quickly verify physical models and reverse engineer any shape changes, accurately capturing freeform surfaces.

Laser scanning, point cloud processing and virtual assembly reduces the number of physical prototypes and eliminates the need for costly verification tooling.

Part shrinkage and spring back make it difficult to precisely match the CAD geometry. The iterative manufacturing process can be monitored closely using laser scanners, providing a powerful insight and increasing inspection productivity.

Gap & flush inspection between car doors and bodies is a critical factor in modeling a car’s aerodynamic performance and determining its fuel efficiency.

Following production line set up, manufacturers need to inspect samples to monitor wear and verify individual assemblies. Laser Radar provides accurate, dimensional measurements in the car coordinate system allowing direct CAD comparison.

Laser scanners verify freeform surfaces as well as positioning and dimensioning of geometric features such as slots and holes in automotive sheet metal.

The inspection of cast engine and transmission housings through laser scanning yields maximum surface information in the shortest possible time.

Headlights , suspension, wheel rims, bumpers or a plastic air filter box; every automotive component has its own dimensional specifications. Quick inspection checks on the shop floor can be executed using a handheld inspection system.

Nikon introduces an innovative approach to body-in-white inspection with its non-contact Laser Radar system - the next generation shop floor CMM.

Aftermarket companies stay competitive when they are flexible in dealing with ever-changing product designs. Tow bar manufacturers use a portable MMDx laser scanner on an MCAx articulated arm to quickly digitize a vehicle’s rear end.
