Nika Holding is a manufacturer of automotive accessories. The company has been in the automotive accessories market for about 2 years, engaged in production of floor mats for trunks and interiors. During this period many leading car makers, such as Nissan, Skoda, Renault, Peugeot, have become clients.
Nika Holding produces mats based on a method that is impossible without scanning. Computer processing of the data ensures a perfect fit of a pattern to the automobile surface. After researching the market for existing technologies, the company tried the M Model scanner made by Artec.
“In choosing this particular model, we knew we needed a rather compact device so that it would be easy to scan with it in the tight confines of a car interior. Also, the scanner would often be used in production in conditions where the sturdiness of the casing would be especially important,” comments an employee at Nika Holding.
This is how the process of making mats works:
"The technological process based on 3D scanning of a car salon is much easier and faster,” says the chief technologist of Nika Holding. Traditionally one has to take all the measurements with a tape measure, and for reliability, you would have to repeat each measurement many times. 3D scanning makes it possible to automate all measurements and immediately obtain an accurate computer model that is ready to be sent to the machine which produces the form.”
An employee of Nika says the main advantages of working with Artec are the noncontact and rapid scanning of automobile interiors and trunks, the user-friendly interface of the Artec Studio 8.0 software, and the ease and simplicity of using the devices themselves.
