The engine is the heart of an automobile. It provides power for the vehicle to travel and determines the automobile's power performance, fuel economy and environmental‑friendliness. Engine designers keep integrating the latest technologies into engines, turning them into complex mechatronic products and bringing engine performance to an almost perfect level.

With the gradually improved structure of engines, the requirements for dimensional inspection of engine components have become increasingly stringent. Engine manufacturers are in growing need of a high‑precision 3D inspection method for engine component testing to lay a solid foundation for the manufacturing industry.

Practical problems

Engine components are becoming increasingly refined. Each component has distinct features with uneven surfaces, which places high requirements on the quality of measurement data during scanning.

Measurement using manual methods entails substantial time‑cost waste, and it is difficult to achieve the expected inspection results.

Co3d solution

Adopt handheld 3D scanners: Non‑contact handheld scanning greatly reduces the workload for scanning tasks. High‑precision 3D scanning delivers high‑quality assurance for preliminary measurement data. It enables streamlined inspection workflows and highly compatible data formats, allowing users to import files into inspection software and generate data analysis reports with one click.

Throughout the entire manufacturing and inspection workflow of engines, the adoption of the efficient and convenient handheld 3D scanning inspection method has significantly improved inspection efficiency, bringing new momentum to the rapid development of the automotive industry.
