3D scanning in the aerospace industry

Geomagic Design X is a powerful software solution for converting 3D scan data into high-quality, feature-based CAD models. In aerospace, 3D scanning with Geomagic Design X can be particularly valuable for reverse engineering, inspection, and quality control processes.

• Reverse Engineering: Aerospace components often have complex geometries, making traditional CAD modeling challenging and time-consuming. With 3D scanning and Geomagic Design X, engineers can quickly capture the physical geometry of existing parts or assemblies and convert them into accurate CAD models. This is especially useful for legacy parts or components for which no digital design data exists.
• Quality Control and Inspection: In aerospace manufacturing, precision is paramount. Geomagic Design X allows engineers to compare scanned parts against their CAD models or nominal specifications to identify any deviations or defects. This helps ensure that components meet the required quality standards and tolerances.
• Design Optimisation: By scanning and analysing existing aerospace components, engineers can identify areas for improvement or optimization. Geomagic Design X facilitates this process by providing tools for analyzing scanned geometry, identifying features, and making design modifications as needed.
