CAPTURE 3D at IMTS 2022

CAPTURE 3D is announcing new technology and bringing several current 3D metrology solutions for you to see in person at IMTS 2022. Our expert metrology specialists will be onsite to provide you with live, on-the-spot technology demonstrations. We also have live presentations that will help you dive deeper into the world of accurate 3D scanning. 

What Technology can I Expect to See at IMTS 2022?

CAPTURE 3D is showing many different types of technology at IMTS 2022. These include:

• ATOS Q: ATOS Q is a powerful portable high-resolution 3D scanner that collects precise, high-definition 3D data from various objects ranging from small to medium-sized parts across diverse industries. Featuring interchangeable measuring lenses for flexibility and a sleek, modern design for portability, ATOS Q is specifically developed for industrial use. See CAPTURE 3D's ATOS Q for yourself at IMTS 2022!

• GOM ScanCobot:  GOM ScanCobot is a mobile automated 3D scanning system that integrates with our blue light 3D scanners ATOS Q and ATOS Core for an easy entry into automated 3D scanning. Stop by our booth at IMTS 2022 to check it out for yourself.

• ZEISS T-SCAN hawk:  The ZEISS T-SCAN hawk is a lightweight handheld 3D scanner powered by pre-installed GOM Inspect software. This single solution features three scanning modes to take you from data acquisition to data analysis, quickly delivering high-quality 3D data for high-quality results. Come to our booth at IMTS 2022 to try it out for yourself!

• ATOS 5 Airfoil: ATOS 5 Airfoil is a high-resolution 3D scanner engineered for aerospace and Industrial Gas Turbine industries, whether aerospace or ground-powered applications. By digitizing intricate airfoil edges and shapes, aerospace professionals can accurately inspect these components and their features quickly and easily. See ATOS 5 Airfoil at IMTS 2022!

IMTS 2022 Presentations by CAPTURE 3D 

CAPTURE 3D is excited to bring two presentations to IMTS 2022. One is an official IMTS 2022 Conference presentation. The other will be given at the ZEISS booth, along with several other software-focused presentations by the GOM and ZEISS metrology teams. Read about CAPTURE 3D'S IMTS 2022 presentations below:


• Solving Additive Manufacturing Challenges with Advanced 3D Scanning:  
As the industrialization of additive manufacturing continues to grow beyond prototype design and small-scale applications, many industries are increasingly using additive technologies to make better products at a lower cost, optimize their operations and supply chains, and explore new business models. However, additive technology adoption rates vary across industries, with rates highest in industries that produce high-value parts in low volumes, such as aerospace and medical, or where faster product development and customization are required, such as in the automotive and consumer goods industries. The challenges of adopting new technology are one reason for this discrepancy. While some of these challenges are common to all manufacturing practices, others are exacerbated due to the nature of 3D printing. For example, process control of intricate parts is always a challenge, but the complex free-form parts that 3D printing enables are much more difficult to control. Efficient production of injection molds using 3D printing and additive manufacturing in die casting often involve components with complex geometries. With these complications comes added time and money spent trying to improve and control processes. Non-rigid 3D measuring systems guarantee process reliability in quality control – from validation of the materials to a 3D scan and final evaluation using comprehensive inspection software. This session will focus on helping the IMTS audience solve the challenges of implementing and maintaining successful additive manufacturing processes, including quality control, scaling from low volume to high volume production, process verification and overcoming warpage issues.
