Car rim

Automotive parts often feature complex designs with intricate details, and this car rim, scanned with Artec Point, is a perfect example. The highly accurate laser scanner captured the object in its entirety, fully showcasing its circular shape and the five evenly spaced spokes radiating outward from the center. The slightly curved spokes taper towards the rim's outer edge, and you can examine the smooth surfaces from every angle, as the model is a true-to-form 3D representation.

Our scanning specialist needed 20 minutes to prepare the part for scanning by placing small targets on both sides. Two scans were then taken in the next 20 minutes, with no need for any spray, and the black object scanning option was turned off. Despite these adjustments, the shiny and black surfaces were captured beautifully at the set resolution, with minimal artificial noise.

Half an hour more for processing in Artec Studio, where the hole-filling function performed better than the "Remove targets" feature during Fusion, requiring just a bit of manual work. The final mesh came out clean, with well-defined features and sharp transitions between shapes, resulting in this crisp 3D model.

As you rotate the model, you can closely examine all the clean lines and pronounced details, whether it’s the large center bore of the rim, a series of vent holes, or the letters and digits of the serial number. This highly accurate digital twin can come in handy in the automotive industry, design, manufacturing, reverse engineering, or quality inspection - you name it. Whatever the application, you can count on impeccable accuracy.
