3D scan of a Wankel rotor combustion chamber

For this project, a combustion chamber of a Wankel engine was digitized with high precision using 3D scanning. The aim was to capture the complex internal and functional geometry in detail as a basis for technical analysis and further processing.

Precise transitions, radii and sealing surfaces are particularly crucial for Wankel components, as even minor deviations have a direct impact on tightness, wear and performance. The 3D scan enables complete geometric documentation – even in the event of wear or temperature-related changes.

The result is a detailed 3D model suitable for reverse engineering, geometry comparison, wear analysis, CAD reconstruction and production preparation.

Areas of application:

• Reverse engineering & CAD reconstruction

• Analysis of functional and sealing surfaces

• Geometry comparison (target/actual)

• Wear and damage documentation

• Production preparation & spare parts development

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