Abstract: The article presents the research of use of modern 3D measurement contact-less methods for quality inspection in automotive industry production. Experience with measuring parts and functional assemblies of complex shape and advantages of the optical methods of digitization are shown on a practical example of analysis of dimensional stability of car decorative strip plastic mouldings. The goal is to demonstrate that the modern methods of dimensional analysis of 3D products can significantly participate in optimization of the manufacturing process and ensuring higher quality of the products. Contact-less 3D systems, so called 3D scanners, were used for the measuring purposes. With their help, the tested sample were digitized in high resolution, and he obtained models of real parts underwent a thorough inspection of precision of shape and dimensions. The attention was directed primarily at the problematic spots – deviation of the strip ends when compared to the nominal CAD model. The analysis was performed using various alignment to the CAD model, thus contributing to finding context with respect to mounting points on the vehicle rails. Concurrently, an influence of galvanic plating on the accuracy of the product was studied.

Abstract: Dental restorations are currently produced mainly by conventional dental technology methods. The automation of the manufacturing process can be achieved by the use of CAD/CAM technology. Basic research on the most important aspects of CAD/CAM fixed dental restorations from the viewpoint of production, information technology, and dentistry/dental technology are the subject of a current article. The aim of this article is practical using of computer aided technologies such as 3D scanning and 5-axis machining for designing and fabrication of dental restorations. It further explains the detailed process of acquiring a digital description of tooth’s shape and its subsequent modification. Attention is drawn to a detailed analysis of dental restorations’ design obtained from a digital description of a tooth in Cercon Art software. The last part of this paper concentrates on the fabrication of dental restorations, which took place at CAD/CAM dental centre in Bratislava, Slovakia. The fabrication was accomplished by 5-axis kinematic structure of machine tools.

Abstract: The paper deals with a description of the creation of CAD model (file format .IGES) based on polygon mesh (file format .STL) obtained by 3D scanning. On the basis of the imported polygon mesh into Reverse Engineering software, it is possible to create surface (or solid) CAD model. For CAD model created from a polygon mesh, a model of screw propeller was chosen. The paper also presents a color deviation map acquired by comparison between a polygon mesh and a CAD model. The 3D digitizing was performed by 3D scanner GOM ATOS II SO TripleScan; GOM ATOS Professional v7.5 SR2 software was used for processing of the scanned data and Delcam PowerSHAPE 2015 CAD software was used for reverse modeling.

Abstract: CAD technology has introduced a turning point in the way of design. In the period before the introduction of computer systems, drafts were traditionally made by pen and each mistake meant erasing, whereas bigger mistakes often required re-creation of the anatomical documentation. The closely linked development of CAD/CAM technology marked the upturn in obtaining the anatomic shape and its creation. This article gives a brief insight into 3D digitization in the field of making the anatomic insole.

Abstract: The paper shortly illustrates the general concept of Reverse Engineering, which includesalso the 3D scanning. In the main part of the paper the concrete 3D scanning process of chosen individual objects are described. The problems that occurred during 3D digitizing of individual parts are step by step discussed and solved. The paper deals with 3D scanning of ball nose end mills and screw drill. The article gives a procedure for digitizing and comparing the results of the scanned digital models of the two ball nose end mills and screw drill.

Abstract: The paper deals with the investigation of 3D digitizing of small parts specifically by optical 3D scanner GOM ATOS TripleScan. The paper shortly illustrates the general concept of Reverse Engineering, which includes also the 3D scanning. The paper also describes the optical 3D scanner GOM ATOS TripleScan and a three-dimensional model obtaining procedure by means of this scanner. In the main part of the paper the concrete 3D scanning process of chosen individual objects is described (clips, ball nose end mill, screw drill, coin). Their shape and size were specific and distinct, therefore it was possible to test and compare particular digitizing attributes. The problems that occurred during 3D digitizing of individual parts are step by step discussed and solved.

Abstract: During recent years, optical measuring technologies in sheet metal forming and tooling have been used more and more in the industry. Main applications are the digitizing of metal sheet parts and tools, forming analysis of metal sheets as well as the determination of material properties. Good interfaces to conventional CAD/CAM and numerical simulation systems made such optical measuring systems a part of complex process chains. These process chains mainly focus on optimizing the development of products and production processes and on improving the product quality. Using optical systems considerably decreases the development time for products and production while improving the quality.
