When the firetruck manoeuvred into our office´s driveway everyone wanted to take a look at this massive vehicle. The Team from Rosenbauer Group Karlsruhe coming to pay a visit to SHINING 3D on that day, delivered an elaborate introduction to how firetrucks are tailored on demand adapted to the specific requirements of the customers. The team came to the SHINING 3D EMEA headquarters to explore the capabilities of the EinScan Pro HD.
Goal: 3D Scanning vehicle parts and equipment to enhance the 3D design process
In the process of equipping a truck with the tools requested by the customer, Rosenbauer started to go fully digital for the fitting of all the equipment into the vehicle. The digital models of the requested products to be integrated in the truck are fitted into the virtual vehicle in Keyshot. This allows the Rosenbauer Team to react fast on customer´s comments and requirements of change in the customization journey. It also saved them a great deal of time to go fully digital. So far so good, there is just the issue that sometimes the original drawings and model data of products are too complicated to obtain or simply not available. How can this issue be resolved in order to guarantee a smooth and seamless design of a custom firetruck?
Fast, reliable and authentic acquisition of object characteristics is handled at ease by the EinScan Pro HD Multifunctional Handheld 3D Scanner. With the assistance of the latest 3D scanning technology by SHINING 3D, Rosenbauer was able to fill the gap of missing product details. Let´s take a closer look at the workflow in detail:
Upon the arrival of the Rosenbauer Team, the EinScan Pro HD has been set up with a dedicated work station. Due to its versatile and flexible handling, creating a perfect setting for 3D scanning of different areas, tools and equipment of the firetruck only took a few minutes.
Setting up the EinScan Pro HD for scanning complex objects is fast, easy and convenient
Less limitations while scanning dark objects and surfaces
The light weight of the EinScan Pro HD and the capacities of dark objects capturing enabled a fast and uncomplicated data acquisition of the driver´s cabin with great results.
