A large‑scale motorcycle manufacturer used Holon 3D scanners to perform 3D scanning on motorcycle clay models in order to improve motorcycle production efficiency. High‑precision 3D model data was obtained and provided to relevant departments to shorten the motorcycle design cycle.

        1. The creation of motorcycle clay models is an important link in the design and development of complete motorcycles. A qualified clay model not only serves as a perfect interpretation of 2‑D renderings but also provides specific data for subsequent 3‑D measurement and mold fabrication. Therefore, clay‑model making is closely related to the success of motorcycle exterior design and development.
        2. The clay model of a motorcycle features a large number of curved surfaces. Traditional measurement methods (such as checking fixtures, jigs, and coordinate‑measuring machines) are extremely cumbersome and time‑consuming. Moreover, they cannot realize accurate and rapid measurement of the structure of the motorcycle clay model.

        Holon 3D engineers proposed a solution: use3D Scanner HL‑3DS+(Quickly acquire high‑precision 3D data of the motorcycle clay model) + reverse‑engineering software (convert engine point‑cloud data into triangular mesh surface data) + design software to solve the problems faced by customers.
       The 3D scanner (HL‑3DS+) features fast scanning speed. It takes less than 15 minutes to acquire 3D data of the motorcycle clay model, with a high data accuracy of 0.02 mm. It adopts technologies including extrapolation‑based multi‑frequency phase‑shift grating, coded‑point calibration and fully‑automatic stitching. When combined with post‑processing software, it can provide reliable parameters for other relevant departments, greatly shortening the motorcycle design cycle and achieving high‑efficiency production.
