        • Aerospace

          The Aerospace industry offers some very unique and complex challenges for rapid prototyping, additive manufacturing and inspection. Most aircraft are highly complex assemblies of mechanical parts, electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics and more.

          Parts and assemblies can be very large, and tight tolerances, complex designs and FAA certifications make working in this industry not for the beginner.

        • Automotive

          The automotive industry has become an increasingly complex and high tech industry. Years ago a typical car or truck model would last five to seven years with only some minor changes.

          In today’s market, many vehicle models are completely redesigned in as few as three years with minor model changes every two years.

      • Simulators and Trainers

        • Simulators and Trainers

          The simulation and trainer market has grown exponentially over the years. For every aircraft, fighting vehicle, tank, weapons system and other armed forces and civilian systems, personnel must be trained to operate them safely and correctly. In many cases, the original CAD doesn’t exist or cannot be accessed to build an accurate simulator.

          3D Scanning allows these original vehicles or aircraft to be captured in 3D and then modified as needed to work in a trainer or simulator. In addition, smaller parts such as flight control grips, duct work, brackets, knobs and other items can be 3D printed in robust materials to be used in the actual simulator or trainer.

        • Entertainment & Theme Parks

          The Entertainment industry presents unique manufacturing challenges due to its artistry and originality.

          Movie props, costumes and other items often need to be duplicated for merchandising and other purposes. A custom suit worn by an action hero in a movie is very valuable. If a manufacturer of action figures or Halloween costumes wants to replicate the action hero’s outfit, the original handmade outfit can be 3D scanned and a design created. From there, design modifications can be made for ease of manufacturing or cost, and complete prototypes can be made and tested before final production.
