Often times, lathe or CNC milling work needs performed on raw
castings or custom objects. It is quite common for these castings to be formed from very old patterns which have no
engineering data. Also, custom or altered objects commonly have no updated engineering data. In these cases, white
light scanning is a perfect solution to provide a model of the casting or altered object. With the newly generated model,
work holding fixtures can be created for the work piece allowing for ease of machining. A few examples are below.
No CAD data existed for a variety of turbine castings.
Our customer needed to make work holding jaws so lathe and NC machining could be performed on the castings. We scanned
each different style of casting, created a model with Rapidform XOR, and our customer developed their work holding jaws from
the model.
A well known racing team in Indianapolis makes modifications
to stock racing components on a regular basis. Obviously, no CAD data accompanies the purchase of such
items. They come to B&J Specialty, Inc. for the scanning and modeling of pieces such as the pistion shown at
left. We provide them with 3D CAD data so they can make modifications as needed to get the most output from their racing
components.
