3D Scanning for Machining Allowance: 250% Increase in Efficiency
Precise control of machining allowances is crucial in manufacturing, as even a minor overcut can render a product unusable, leading to material waste and increased costs. Traditional methods rely on Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) for dimensional inspection, requiring heavy components to be transported, reclamped, and re-machined, which is both time-consuming and labor-intensive. This back-and-forth process introduces inefficiencies and potential errors, highlighting the need for a more streamlined approach.
By adopting the FreeScan UE Pro 3D scanner, manufacturers can perform high-precision, contactless measurements directly on the machine, eliminating the need for relocation and repeated setups. In this case, a 50 x 130 cm end mill was scanned in real time, enabling immediate quality assessments and seamless data export for inspection. This transition reduced inspection time from seven days to two, improving efficiency by 250%, while also increasing the yield rate from 80% to 100%. The integration of 3D scanning not only enhances accuracy and workflow efficiency but also minimizes costs, reinforcing its value in modern machining processes.
