Case Study:
Crash Car Inspection with Colored 3D Scanning in Motion
Download the full case study to discover how Duwe-3D leveraged the speed and accuracy of the Photoneo MotionCam-3D to build RoboScan, an integrated, mobile system that transforms crash testing from a manual bottleneck into an automated, high-throughput, and data-rich inspection process for a renowned German car manufacturer.
The Integrated Inspection System: RoboScan
Traditional manual crash car inspection was slow and inconsistent, failing to meet the high standards required for comparing real-world crash results with simulation models. Learn about the integrated RoboScan solution that combines Photoneo 3D Cameras, a RobCo Cobot Arm, and an EvoCortex Mobile Platform, all managed by Duwe-3D's PolyWorks software, to deliver a flexible and repeatable scanning solution in the challenging crash test environment.
Key Highlights You'll Discover:
- Increased Speed and Efficiency: See how using two synchronized Photoneo MotionCam-3D units significantly reduces data acquisition time compared to manual scanning methods.
- Comprehensive Data Capture: How the MotionCam-3D units capture high-quality, blur-free 3D point cloud, polygonal mesh, and color information simultaneously, providing a complete digital twin of the damaged vehicle.
- Enhanced Flexibility and Mobility: The strategic integration of a RobCo Cobot Arm for precise positioning and an EvoCortex Mobile Platform for autonomous navigation, allowing for a complete 360-degree view of vehicles of different sizes and positions.
- Seamless Software Integration: The critical role of Duwe-3D's custom D3D++ plugin within the PolyWorks software, which manages the synchronized operation of the two Photoneo cameras via the Photoneo API to align data into a unified point cloud.
- Valuable Insights for Vehicle Safety: How the final, unified scan data is compared with the simulated crash model within PolyWorks, providing crucial, high-accuracy insights to refine and improve crash simulation accuracy and ultimately design safer vehicles.
