(Southlake, Texas; September 24, 2021) -- NVision’s 3D laser and computed tomography (CT) scanning services are helping RedBone, a manufacturer of hand-crafted goose calls, get its unique products to customers faster, enabling the Elton, La., company to significantly expand its output. After scanning two key components of a call--the barrel and the insert--NVision (Southlake, Texas) provides RedBone with computer-aided design (CAD) files containing all the dimensional details of the hand-built parts, which are then used for reproduction.

3D Laser Scanning Enables Unique Reimagining of 1863 The Freedman  Sculpture 

(Southlake, TX, June 15, 2023) – 3D laser scanning from NVision made possible a remarkable “collaboration” between two sculptors separated by 160 years. The Southlake, Texas company’s precision scanning enabled artist Hugh Hayden to create a new, 3D-printed, version of John Quincy Adams Ward’s groundbreaking sculpture The Freedman using a digital copy of Ward’s 1863 original as a model.

The science and technology of 3-D measurement has evolved dramatically in recent decades. Accordingly, a wide range of industries continue to adopt 3-D scanning as a key tool for ensuring optimal quality of manufactured goods, reverse engineering and other related processes. And many more advantageous uses remain unexplored.

Obtaining precise 3-D dimensions of an object enables its rapid reproduction and redesign. The same data can be used to perform quality control and inspection analysis for a fast “go/no go” decision in manufacturing.
