Additive Manufacturing Technologies
Ensure precision on parts built through additive manufacturing.
Additive manufacturing allows manufacturers to print parts as a single piece, reducing material waste, time and energy. Additionally, it accelerates the rapid prototyping design process. FARO solutions enable inspection and reverse engineering to drive these processes with exceptional speed and accuracy.
Precision for Your Additive Manufacturing Process
Adding materials, layer upon layer, to build a completed product versus taking away excess material (subtractive manufacturing) can save time and money, reduce rework costs, eliminate errors faster, and make it easier for manufacturers to recreate reverse-engineered parts. 3D laser scanning is at the heart of this operation and is what allows these products and components to be manufactured. Detailed scans ensure the quality control of the first article created, while sophisticated computer software uses that data to recreate the virtual 3D model for repeat printing.
Case Study
RAMLAB Uses Additive Manufacturing to 3D-print a Ship Propeller
The FARO ScanArm was critical for the Rotterdam Additive Manufacturing Laboratory, inspecting the part throughout the build process and post-polishing, measuring to an accuracy of 50–60 microns.
