3D scanning for reliable gas engine operation and condition-based maintenance
Reliable gas engine operation depends on accurate maintenance decisions. To support its condition-based maintenance strategy, PowerUP uses the ZEISS T-SCAN hawk 2 and ZEISS INSPECT to capture and analyze precise 3D data from critical engine components. By combining advanced optical 3D scanning with data-driven analysis, PowerUP can identify wear trends, optimize maintenance intervals, support reverse engineering projects, and improve component performance.
Validating an electric future in 3D: How Blinq Mobility checks its EV Mule with a handheld scanner
To make sure its battery-swappable EV prototype really matches the CAD design, Blinq Mobility teamed up with AVRDUS Technologies and used a handheld ZEISS T-SCAN hawk 2 with ZEISS INSPECT software to scan the entire vehicle and compare the real build against the digital model in full 3D.
3D scanners for 3D printers
3D scanners and 3D printers are widely used across industries for product development, quality assurance, and reverse engineering. The overlap between these applications creates the potential for a powerful combination of both technologies. As a leading manufacturer in metrology, ZEISS offers high-precision 3D scanners for 3D printers that deliver exceptional accuracy and detailed surface capture, making them ideal for seamless integration of 3D scanning and 3D printing in industrial workflows.
