Details For Services Available
1. Reverse Engineering, 3D Inspection, 3D Printing & FEA
Leverage advanced scanning and software tools (e.g. Geomagic, PolyWorks) to build accurate CAD models from existing parts. These services support redesign, part optimization, stress simulations (FEA), and direct preparation for additive manufacturing.
2. 3D Scanning & Probing Measurement
Obsnap provides both optical 3D scanning (structured light, laser) and contact probing using high-precision Portable CMM measuring arms (e.g. Scantech TrackScan systems, Nikon MCAx).
These methods are suitable for capturing complex geometries, inspecting surface features, and verifying part dimensions with sub-millimeter accuracy.
3. 3D Scanning for Human Body
Non-invasive scanning solutions that digitize human body shapes for applications in custom apparel, medical modeling, virtual fitting, and biomechanical analysis. Features include fast capture, high precision surface data, and secure handling of personal data.
4. 3D Scanning for Art Sculpturing & Wood Carving
Use high-resolution scanning to preserve heritage pieces, assist in sculpting or restoration, and convert physical artworks into editable digital formats (e.g. STL or CAD) for reproduction or archiving.
5. 3D Probing for First Article Inspection (FAI)
Ensure manufactured parts adhere to design specifications by comparing physical parts to CAD models using probing on portable CMM arms. Includes GD&T-based dimensional inspection and quality reporting for aerospace, automotive, and precision industries.
6. 3D Probing for Jigs & Fixtures
Evaluate tooling, jigs, or fixtures using contact probing to verify dimensional and alignment conformity. This ensures proper fitment, assembly accuracy, and tooling integrity in production workflows.
Metrology Tools & Technology
1. Portable CMM Arms (e.g. Nikon MCAx & Scantech T-Probe): Six- and seven-axis arms offering volumetric accuracy in the range of ±0.034 mm for large measurement envelopes up to 4.5 m diameter.
2. Scantech TrackScan Series (P22, P30, P42): Optical tracking scanners with integrated CMM probing, delivering sub-0.03 mm repeatability, high scan rates (up to 1.9M points/sec), markerless tracking, and resistance to glossy or metallic surfaces.
These technologies enable high-precision scanning and contact measurement in a wide range of industrial environments and materials.
Applications Across Industries
1. Quality control and inspection in automotive, aerospace, tooling, and manufacturing
2. Legacy part digitization and CAD rebuilding for prototyping
3. Medical and ergonomic human body modeling
4. Conservation and restoration of sculptures and heritage pieces
5. Dimensional verification of fixtures, tools, and jigs for accurate production alignment
