Power Transmission Engineering features NVision's reverse engineering project that saved major turbomachinery engineering firm time in redesigning turbine

(November 2013) - NVision, Inc. recently reverse engineered the rotor assembly, diffusers and diaphragm of a turbine for a major turbomachinery engineering firm in Texas. The full reverse engineering process only took five weeks, far less than six months that the engineering company had originally allotted for the project using less sophisticated measurement methods. "Using our own HandHeld scanner, we were able to measure the parts' geometry to extremely high levels of accuracy and produce the necessary CAD files. This made it possible for the company to perform simulations to optimize the turbine's design, substantially improving its energy efficiency," said Steve Kersen, NVision's vice president of sales and marketing. Read more, click here.

 

Reverse engineering of turbine featured in Vision Systems Design online, a publication specializing in Vision and Automation Solutions For Engineers and Integrators Worldwide

(October 2013) - When a major turbomachinery engineering firm in Texas was tasked with redesigning a more energy-efficient turbine for its plant, it needed to produce the proper computer-aided design (CAD) model before it could begin the project. Lacking this CAD file, the company needed to create a new one by gathering turbine geometry data in order to reverse engineer the turbine. With that in mind, the company contacted NVision. Read more, click here.

 

Handheld Scanner Improves Quality of Complex Castings for LED Fixtures

(October 2013) - Lighting Science® uses the HandHeld laser scanner from NVision to ensure the dimensional integrity of the extremely complicated castings it purchases and uses in its roadway light emitting diode (LED) fixtures. In the past, it was difficult to inspect the castings because their geometry was too complex for gauges and blocks and they would have taken a long time to program and inspect on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM).

NVision article entitled "Choosing the Right Scanning Technology for Reverse Engineering" featured on CAD/CAM Connect and CATIA Community

(July 2013) - The article included information on how scanning technology can be beneficial for reverse engineering. Once a part is scanned in and converted, the computer models are then used to create duplicates of the original part (or, in the case of long-range scanning, the structure), analyze and optimize the original part, or - if used for inspection - to show deviations between the manufactured product and the original 3D design. After scanning is completed, the object’s 3D data is usually converted to an STL file, which is then used to create a 3D IGES/STEP/parasolid model or native solid in the specific CAD format required. These formats include CATIA, Pro/Engineer (Pro/E), SolidWorks, Inventor, Unigraphics/NX, and SolidEdge. Read the complete article, click here. Read the article posted on CAD/CAM Connect, click here.
