The aircraft engine cover is an indispensable and crucial component of an aircraft, affecting not only its safety performance but also playing a significant role in its aesthetic appearance. A major airline requires 3D scanning of aircraft engine cover molds to obtain high-precision 3D data, thereby achieving cost and time savings in repairing and reworking damaged engine covers, and providing effective data support for subsequent mold opening and processing.

Facing problems

1. Due to the large size and inconvenient mobility of the aircraft engine cover mold, as well as the numerous curved surfaces of the mold itself, the customer requires high overall precision for the aircraft engine cover mold. When measured using ordinary 3D scanning instruments, the cumulative error can be excessive. The challenge lies in eliminating the impact of this error.

2. If traditional measurement methods are solely employed, the efficiency is too low and the accuracy is not high enough to acquire complete and precise 3D data in a short timeframe. This hampers the rapid progress of subsequent work and adds complexity to later stages of reverse repair and modeling, resulting in a waste of excessive human and material resources.

Solution

In response to the series of challenges faced by enterprises in scanning aircraft engine cover molds (such as large volume, high surface accuracy requirements, and issues related to eliminating scanning cumulative errors and achieving complete stitching), Huaguang 3D technology engineers propose a solution: the use of our photographic 3D scanner HL-3DS+ in conjunction with the 3D photogrammetry system (HL-3DP) can successfully scan large workpieces, obtaining complete and accurate 3D inspection data. This approach is time-efficient, easy to operate, and significantly saves manpower, material resources, and time, effectively resolving the problems faced by customers.
