Transmission case
Digitizing a complex metal casting like this transmission case is always a challenge, both due to its inherent material properties and highly detailed geometry. Featuring intricate structure and numerous mounting points, this 3D model reveals thick horizontal ribs, spaced along its entire length, with every edge faithfully recreated. You can also see an open, circular flange and four cylindrical studs around its perimeter, as well as a complex, asymmetrical base structure, with all these areas being incredibly lifelike.
This level of fidelity was achieved by capturing the case with Artec Point, an ISO-certified laser scanner boasting 0.02 mm accuracy. With a stellar reputation in metrology applications, the scanner handled this challenge effortlessly. It took just 10 minutes to place the targets on the case and another 7 minutes to complete scanning – first capturing the targets, then the object itself – in regular resolution.
Then it was time for Artec software to work its magic: depending on your needs, you can refine any part of your scan in Artec Studio to your desired resolution – 0.2 mm, 0.1 mm, or even 0.02 mm. The entire processing takes between 25 and 60 minutes, or slightly longer if you choose to refine the entire mesh to the highest resolution.
Feel free to zoom in and give this model a spin to explore every detail, from casting reliefs and bolt holes to distinct, small housing features and the channels between the ribs. Like any other digital twin created with Artec Point, this 3D replica showcases how intricate objects can be captured with high repeatability and stunning accuracy, providing 3D models ready for inspection, reverse engineering, and export to simulation software, and more.
