3D scanning and printing

3D scanning and 3D printing are methods used in designing a product. 3D printing involves printing a three-dimensional object based on a digital model (CAD file). 3D printing belongs to the rapid prototyping industry. This is the collective term for a ratio of techniques that make it possible to quickly manufacture product prototypes.

Engineering Specialist

In 3D scanning, the process works the other way around. A three-dimensional object is converted to a point cloud which can then be converted to CAD file. 3D scanning and 3D printing are complex technologies. Do you want to apply these advanced technologies to your product? Then it makes sense to work with a partner with a lot of expertise.

Engineering and Reverse Engineering

3D printing is also known by the more general term Engineering. 3D scanning is the opposite process and is therefore also known as Reverse Engineering. Not only expertise and experience is important in 3D printing and 3D scanning. It is also important to use modern machinery. Heycop has a modern 7-axis laser scanning arm from Hexagon and a new 3D Itomec i500 printer with a build volume of 500x500x500 [mm]. We also offer you professional guidance, from design to final product.

Innovative, qualitative and efficient

Thanks to our innovative nature and advanced machinery, we develop optimal solutions and prototypes of high quality.

Innovation

One of the most recent innovations within measurement technology is the use of laser measurements. Heycop has invested in the Hexagon Absolute Arm, an advanced 3D laser scanner. This results in accuracy and speed advantages in measurements.

Reverse engineering

By using the Absolute Arm, we initiate reverse engineering processes, which allows us to analyze, replicate and improve products.

Quality

With our 3D laser scanner, we scan products with a precision of 16 microns. Quality control includes a comparison between the 3D files of the casting and the physical casting. This is how we identify and visualize any abnormalities at an early stage.

Efficiency

Thanks to our 3D printer and machinery, we easily visualize a first prototype.

3D scanning / 3D printing at Heycop

Heycop has its own engineering and development department. This allows us to support your company in technical issues with a view to innovation, cost reduction and technical improvements. Your design can be extensively visualized with our 3D printer. For 3D scanning, Heycop has Hexagon’s 3D laser scanning arm, the Absolute Arm. This scanner gave Heycop the ability to scan existing products and convert them into 3D data. This gives a new perspective not only on the engineering process but also on quality. In addition, the Absolute Arm makes accurate comparisons between the 3D files of the casting and the casting itself to visualize any discrepancies in advance.
