From 3D Scanning To Path Planning
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Element X provides a multi-axis slicer for large format metal and polymer 3D printing with path analysis and 3D vision monitoring.
ROBOTIC WELDING
Element X offers a user interface to generate complex non planar welding jobs based on 3D scans.
REPAIR & MAINTENANCE
Element X provides an inspection and repair solution based on 3D scans using a hybrid manufacturing approach.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
Element X Workflow
1
3D SCAN
Automatically create a digital copy of exisiting equipment
2
COMPARE
Compare the digital copy with a reference model (CAD, basic geometry, nominal scan)
3
IDENTIFY
Identify the areas of interest
4
PROCESS
Create a repair strategy tht includes pre-machining, additive manufacturing and surfacing
Dimensional Repair
Automated hybrid repair of a damaged propeller, including pre-machining, additive manufacturing and surfacing.
Surfacing Repair
Unlike dimensional repair, surfacing repair utilizes only the data obtained from the scan of the damaged part for the repair, making it ideal for planar and cylindrical repairs. This video demonstrates the repair procedure of a damaged steel plate serving as the floor for a mining truck bed.
Hybrid Manufacturing
This video introduces a collaborative initiative with the ADAMS lab at the University of Alberta, delving into rapid investment casting using hybrid manufacturing. The primary objective is to expedite the production of a sacrificial wax model for future metal casting applications.
CODELESS ROBOTIC PATH PLANNING
Element X Workflow
1
3D SCAN
3D scan the area of interest
2
DRAW
Draw the path or select the region where the path will be created
3
LOAD
Automatically create a robotic path with collision avoidance
4
EXECUTE
Execute the path on your robotic cell
Robotic Welding on ABB Robot
Element X offers a solution for in-situ robotic welding and overlay. Leveraging RoboDK as third-party robotic simulation software, Elementiam has created a programming-free toolchain for rapid and versatile robotic welding operations.
