3D Laser Scanning

At Applied Engineering (AE), we are always looking for ways to improve our efficiency, our processes, and the products we design. That is why we use the latest in laser scanning technology to create accurate CAD models and engineering prints from a physical part.

Whether the project calls for reverse engineering of a previous design, quality inspection, or design documentation, AE’s advanced scanning capabilities allow us to turn a real part into a 3D full-color CAD model.

Why use AE’s 3D Laser Technology?

• Capture information from physical objects and manipulate it in the digital world
• Create extremely accurate scans and 3D parametric CAD models
• Display excellent color rendering and highly detailed multi-laser capabilities
• Create scans in limited timeframe
• Apply no size limit for scans
• Utilize highly cost-effective and convenient methods

Rapid Prototyping

AE understands that communication is an important component of product development. That is why AE utilizes the latest in advanced rapid prototyping technology -- allowing concept prototypes to be created in hours instead of weeks. Rapid prototyping allows you to visualize, touch, review, and demonstrate your concepts and designs before ever building a real part. AE’s rapid prototyping services can make your next marketing presentation, design review, or concept evaluation a success!

Why use AE’s rapid prototyping services?

• Reduce time to market by examining parts earlier in the design process and eliminate costly errors
• Create full-color, highly detailed parts
• Utilize a cost-effective prototyping solution
• Create parts in hours instead of weeks
• Obtain prototypes from concepts, hand sketches, detailed drawings, or your 3D CAD model
• Build parts with a variety of flexible and rigid materials -- including structural plastics

3D Rendering Services

In today’s competitive business environment, appearance is everything. That is why AE uses cutting-edge rendering software to create 3D images. Your next marketing presentation, design review, or concept demonstration will be stunning!

In an industry of tight schedules and deadlines, AE hastens your product to market by allowing you to create parts books, operator’s manuals, and service manuals before ever building a prototype. Our experienced staff works with you to provide results within your timeframe and budget.

Capabilities:

• Composite renderings that seamlessly combine a digital photo with a CAD model
• Animated rendered videos and flythroughs of concepts or production models
• Virtual prototyping and concept style modeling
• Photography for marketing literature and manuals prior to prototype construction

Photo-Realistic Rendering Examples:

• 3D Environments - Nothing in these environments is real
  
• Composite Environments - An actual photo is combined with a 3D model
