3D Scanning for Mining

Functional 3D laser scanning services can be used in a range of applications in the mining industry.

3D scanning OEM parts for manufacturing allows designers to capture accurate measurements of existing parts. Scanned mesh data then can be used with reverse engineering CAD software to create a highly accurate solid model for manufacturing.

Functional 3D's LiDAR and Photogrammetry for pile measurements can also aid in mine planning through the creation of precise digital maps of open-pit quarries, allowing quarry managers to measure reclamation volumes and visualize the data in 3D.

Finally, 3D scanning to monitor wear in crusher parts and inspection purposes allows quarry managers to ensure the accuracy and reliability of their heavy equipment.

3D Scanning OEM Parts for Manufacturing

3D scanning OEM parts for reverse engineering allows mining operators to create precise digital replicas of critical OEM components, facilitating easy replacement and reducing downtime. 3D scanning streamlines the supply chain by enabling rapid prototyping and on-demand manufacturing of spare parts, reducing dependency on traditional inventories. The ability to archive and share digital models also enhances collaboration among stakeholders, leading to improved communication and problem-solving

3D Scanning to Monitor Wear in Crusher Parts

3D scanning to monitor wear in crusher parts provides quarry managers a precise and comprehensive analysis of component deterioration. This technology enables the creation of accurate digital models, allowing mining operators to visualize and quantify wear patterns over time. By providing early detection of wear, 3D scanning facilitates proactive maintenance strategies, minimizing downtime, optimizing equipment performance, and ultimately extending the lifespan of critical crusher components in mining operations.

LiDAR and Photogrammetry Scans for Pile Measurements

3D scanning for open-pit quarry management provides unparalleled precision in volumetric assessments of material stockpiles. LiDAR captures detailed 3D point clouds, allowing for comprehensive mapping of irregular surfaces and accurate calculations of pile volumes. Photogrammetry complements this by delivering high-resolution visual data, aiding in the identification of material types and surface conditions. LiDAR and photogrammetry not only expedite the measurement process but also enhances safety by reducing the need for physical inspections in challenging terrains. Additionally, these technologies facilitate data analysis and comparison over time, enabling effective inventory management, optimizing resource allocation, and ultimately improving operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness in open-pit quarry management within the mining sector.
