HYBRID MANUFACTURING & REPAIR
3D SCAN
Automatically create a digital copy of exisiting equipment
COMPARE
Compare the digital copy with a reference model (CAD, basic geometry, nominal scan)
IDENTIFY
Identify the areas of interest
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
SCAN

DRAW
Draw the path or select the region where the path should be created
LOAD
Automatically create a robotic path with collision avoidance
EXECUTE
Execute the path on your robotic cell
