Wellman Surveying is proud to make available a breakthrough
in our industry: the 3D scanner brings unparalleled efficiency to
complex engineering and data capture operations. For example, the plant installation at left requires a permanent design modification. The historical statue at left is to be accurately mapped and replicated. Instead of traditional, time-intensive mapping techniques, we three-dimensionally scan the entire portion of the facility or artifact. |
|
Next, a 3D “point cloud” is generated from the scanned
data. To help distinguish individual features, the point cloud is
“shrink wrapped” and colorized as shown here. |
... to this ...   |
|
...
to this, and in hours instead of weeks!   |
Finally
a 3D model or surface is prepared from the “shrink-wrapped”
point cloud which is now ready for your preferred CAD/CAM program
format. Dimensional data can be developed and typical 2D engineering drawings or profiles and contours can be produced as needed. |
|
Our
breakthrough is the 3D model surface information which can be manipulated by the design engineer to access, to view from any angle, to measure precisely and to modify any part of it. As you can see, this new versatility and accuracy will prevent costly errors. Replicas of original art and historical artifacts can be created using 3D laser scans. Scale models can then be created by CNC milling (foam, hard wax, etc.), or Rapid Prototyping methods such as Stereolithography. This process is able to provide historians, researchers, and professionals access to exact reproductions of rare and delicate specimens or models for display and study. |
