3D scan of a damaged steering joint

For this project, a damaged steering joint was digitized with high precision using 3D scanning. The aim was to completely capture the real geometry, including material breakouts and deformations, in order to create a reliable basis for analysis and further processing.

Precise digitalization is particularly crucial for safety-relevant components in the automotive and mechanical engineering sectors in order to document damage in a traceable manner and reliably evaluate target/actual deviations.

The result is a detailed 3D model that can be used for various industrial applications – e.g. for damage analysis, quality control, reverse engineering or the reconstruction of a spare part.

Application areas of the scan:

• Damage documentation & expert reports

• Geometry comparison (target/actual)

• Reverse engineering

• Reconstruction of spare parts

• CAD processing & production preparation

The scan is available in the following 3D viewer for viewing and checking the geometry. This is the unprocessed 3D scan.
