• Reverse Engineering

    Surface Design Technologies Pvt Ltd. 3D scanning captures geometrical data with the fidelity required for efficient and accurate mold making, reverse engineering, and other industrial applications. In addition, the 3D scan data may be modified and scaled to accommodate a wide range of marketing and manufacturing requirements. 3D scan data from production parts may be compared to their original CAD designs, ensuring that critical tolerances and quality standards are met. When adequate design documentation is unavailable, entire parts may be directly re-engineered from our 3D data sets.

HEAVY MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES

Heavy manufacturing industires which supply equipments to power plants, oil and gas refineries, chemical plants, shipping industries, etc. mostly use conventional method for checking of large profiles of shell, dishends, nozzles etc.  The conventional method of taking measurements is iterative , time consuming and hence it may result in equipment manufacturing which is required on site.

Our customer of heavy manufacturing industry had a very urgent requirement of replacing a section of vessel in a running oil refinery. Section was of toricone shape which was to be replaced from the exisiting refinery. The new Toricone that was to be manufactured was at diffrent site and this required the exact shape of the existing  one in order to fit exactly. Surface Design team scanned the exisitng toricone piece in less than 1 hour on site in the running oil refinery. This scanned data was converted to a 3D model and supplied to our customer for manufacturing the new section (110 degree) of toricone. The New piece of toricone manufactured was then validated ( compared) with the existing onsite piece and reports in the mismatch (3D comparison) was submitted. Mismatch found in reports were corrected in the new toricone peice which was again inspected and when found almost near to the exisiting one the part was transfered on site. This new piece of toricone which was of 80 mm thick was matched onsite in one go without much of any manual effort. All this operations and exercise was completed in 2 weeks time. Cost, time and Manpower savings were in significant amount.

” EIL , Incharge of the plant , Mr J.K. Bhan  were very much impressed with the speed and accuracy of the results and has assured us to use our services as and when required”
