3D scanning at Rotovia – precision for modern solutions

In a world of rapidly changing technology, precision and innovation are key elements for success. At Rotovia, we believe that only with the highest quality solutions can you gain an edge in the market. That is why we offer a 3D scanning service that not only supports manufacturing processes, but also opens up new possibilities in product design, analysis and optimization.

Why is 3D scanning an essential tool in modern manufacturing?

3D scanning is a precise and versatile technology that is revolutionising manufacturing processes. At Rotovia, we use an advanced scanner with an accuracy of ±0.025 mm, taking 1.8 million measurements per second. This allows us to quickly obtain complete data, eliminating imperfections and ensuring compliance with the design.

Our solutions not only guarantee the highest quality, but also support design by creating precise digital models and analysing geometry. This enables you to optimise the design and better plan the entire production process. In addition, we offer comprehensive reports and visualisations to support quality control and the realisation of innovative designs. 3D scanning is an indispensable tool in achieving the highest production standards.

Versatility of 3D scanning applications

Our 3D scanning service is much more than the precise mapping of products. With this technology, processes can be significantly optimised, increasing production efficiency and product quality. 3D scanning enables an accurate inspection to be carried out by comparing products with CAD documentation, allowing deviations to be quickly detected and potential production errors to be eliminated.

The technology also supports the creation of digital documentation, which secures technical data and makes it easier to store and manage. In addition, 3D scanning makes it possible to analyse competitors’ products, making it easy to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their products and make needed improvements.

It is a versatile tool used in many industries, such as automotive, aerospace, heavy industry or the renewable energy sector, supporting the development of modern and innovative solutions.

Colour map - a tool for precise analysis

One of the most advanced elements of 3D scanning is the colour map, which provides a visual representation of the deviations between the CAD model and the actual product. How does it work and what are its advantages?

Problem identification – The colour map allows you to quickly locate bulges, collapses or other imperfections that might be missed with standard visual inspection.
Minimising complaints – With precise analysis, potential problem areas can be eliminated before the product is launched.
Assembly optimisation – Detecting assembly difficulties as early as the design stage allows rapid response and modification of the design.

An excellent example of the use of a colour map is the project carried out at our Rotovia Miedzyrzecz plant for renewable energy customer Energyminer.
With precise scans and analysis of their products, we were able to streamline the production process, eliminating the potential risk of assembly problems and ensuring the highest quality products.

Comprehensive solutions for every industry

Our 3D scanning services are not limited to one type of product, but respond to the needs of different industries and projects, regardless of their size and complexity. We carry out scanning of tools and jigs, such as moulds or machines, which allows us to regularly verify their technical condition and keep them in optimal condition. We also offer the creation of digital ‘master samples’, i.e. the archiving of key products in digital form, which facilitates data management and long-term preservation.

Thanks to our mobile approach, we can fulfil orders both at our premises and directly at the customer’s site, minimising production downtime. Flexibility in operation and the use of advanced technologies allow us to meet even the most demanding projects, providing comprehensive support at every stage of implementation.

Rotovia - your partner in development and innovation

We are convinced that precision technology can support both business development and environmental initiatives. Our partnership with Energyminer, a renewable energy company, demonstrates that advanced technological solutions can go hand in hand with the idea of sustainability. As Rotovia, we are proud that our services help create greener products that support a future based on environmental responsibility.

With our 3D scanning services, companies can not only improve the quality of their products, but also optimise their production processes, innovating in line with market needs. Our team of experienced specialists provides comprehensive support – from analysing your needs, to selecting the right 3D scanning methods, to preparing detailed reports and visualising the results.
