3D Scanning--- A Modern Way to Optimize Electronic Products

Posted by Cherry on May 5th, 2019

Product design is a significant competition strategy to avoid homogenization and realize differentiation. Therefore, the importance of product design is self-evident. 3D scanning can quickly acquire 3D data of the electronic product

What does customer need?

In order to optimize the computer design, the customer wants to know the full 3D data of the motherboard in a very short time, and don’t spray powder when scanning due to the black and reflective surface.

Customers usually have 3 ways to conduct 3D measurement for quality control: traditional CMM, photographic 3D scanner, and handheld 3D scanner. As for computer motherboard, which one is the best?

Q&A

Q1: What are the disadvantages of CMM?

•  Hard to inspect the product with complex structure
•  Low speed due to contact measurement
•  Probe might damage the surface and cause transformation

Q2: What are the disadvantages of the photographic 3D scanner?

•  Inflexible
•  Sensitive to colors and materials of the object
•  Need powder spray on a dark and reflective surface
•  Low efficiency when scanning an object with complex structure

Q3: What are the advantages of the handheld 3D scanner?

•  Easy to scan the objects in any shape
•  Non-contact measuring without damages
•  Dynamic measuring: freely move the scanner and the object
•  High volumetric accuracy
•  Quickly capture the full 3D data

so that the designer can adjust the product shape, and greatly improve the work efficiency.

3D solution

Comparing with CMM and photographic 3D scanner, a handheld 3D scanner is characterized by flexibility, portability, high efficiency and precision. ScanTech handheld 3D laser scanner PRINCE can quickly capture the 3D data of the computer motherboard without powder spray.

Time cost

•  Attaching markers: 2 minutes
•  Scanning: 2 minutes
