Reverse engineering has been closely related to the industrial field, and the mold industry is no exception. Now the use rate of molds in industrial production reaches 60%-90%. Molds are divided into injection molding, blow molding, casting, forging molding, smelting, stamping, stretching, etc., which are tools used to shape objects. This tool is composed of various parts, and different molds are composed of different parts.
While reverse engineering is used for industrial inspection of workpieces, the modification and re-innovation of product design has become more and more routine and specialized.
Holon3D combines practice to deeply understand the needs of the industry and customers, provide customers with comprehensive solutions and reverse product design, ensure that products meet the applications and requirements of the mold industry, and improve the competitiveness of the company.
High-quality extraction of point cloud data, high-efficiency assisted mold reverse engineering design (raw data acquisition of casting mold, a process from the data collection end to the data processing end)
In the development and innovation of new products, many product data are not CAD digital models. Mold designers often have to deal with physical samples, and sometimes drawings may be missing. In this case, three-dimensional scanning methods are required to transform the physical objects. For the CAD model, carry out the physical three-dimensional reconstruction, so as to carry out the mold design and manufacture of the mold. Such as parting surface, calculation of shrinkage coefficient, etc.
Through the HOLON3D three-dimensional scanning system, accurately grasp the data shape and data size
Using the latest scanning technology, such as white light three-dimensional scanning. For fine small parts or objects with complex appearance, the point cloud data on the surface of the object can be accurately extracted, and the single scan speed is less than 3 seconds, which saves a lot of time for work and improves efficiency.
Mold manufacturing process
If the accuracy requirements are not met during the trial and repair of the mold, the design may need to be redesigned. The use of reverse engineering technology can reduce the designer's troubles. Through the collection and re-innovation of the surface data of the object, the redesign steps are reduced, thereby optimizing the product design process.
Mold modification and repair
Traditional mold design generally uses three-dimensional engraving and CNC milling machines to make equal-scale molds for products. This method is unable to establish digital files, and the manual repair workload is large, and it requires high skills for the workers, which brings great difficulties to the later CNC machining and industrial inspection. Since the finished product often inherits the advantages and disadvantages of the master model, this technology is slowly integrated into reverse engineering to improve the modification and re-innovation capabilities of the mold.
After the design and manufacture of the mold are completed, the mold product produced by the proofing will be unsatisfactory. In this case, the mold needs to be modified and innovated. The re-inspection and modification of the mold is often a complicated process. In the mouth of some designers, there will be such a saying: "It is better to revise and redesign." At this time, three-dimensional detection methods can be used for detection and reverse design, reducing the extra work of designers.
Make accurate quality reports on the deformation and other errors of mold samples, master detailed three-dimensional inspection results, and improve product quality
Many companies use 3D scanning technology and use 3D scanning equipment to perform shape evaluation during the forming stage. Generate CAD data comparison analysis and color error coding diagrams. If a defect is detected in the size inspection of the production prototype, the defect can be fed back to the die design and processing method at an early stage, thereby improving development efficiency.
