Sewage treatment pumps are a type of water treatment equipment; water is an indispensable natural resource for human development and the material foundation upon which humanity and all living organisms depend for survival. In today's world, the water crisis—stemming from water scarcity and pollution—has become a complex challenge involving policy, economics, and technology for every nation, as well as a major constraint on socio-economic development.

The client is a renowned modern manufacturing enterprise dedicated to the design, development, and production of corrosion-resistant pumps. They required 3D scanning to rapidly acquire data from acid-alkali wastewater treatment equipment for use in reverse engineering and new product development. Due to specific constraints—namely the need for high scanning speed and precision, combined with a requirement for a powder-free process—the client ultimately selected HOLON 3D after comparing various 3D scanners on the market.
Client Background: Large-scale domestic manufacturer of water treatment equipment
Scanning Requirement: Acquire 3D data of the sample part for new product development
Sample Description: Component of acid-alkali wastewater treatment equipment (water pump casing)
The client requires a way to rapidly and accurately acquire 3D data from sewage treatment pump casings for use in new product design and development. Due to the complex, irregular shapes of the casings—characterized by numerous surface contours, grooves, and apertures—the design department's reliance on traditional methods has become inefficient; these outdated techniques can no longer meet the demands of a fast-paced business environment or alleviate the pressure to accelerate new product launches.
Scanning Equipment
HOLON 760 Handheld 3D Scanner

To address the client's specific challenges, HOLON 3D provided a practical scanning solution: utilizing the HOLON760 handheld 3D scanner to rapidly capture 3D data of the sewage treatment equipment's pump casing. This approach not only delivered high precision and speed but also met the client's requirement to avoid applying developer spray; the client was highly satisfied with the results.
