Repair & Maintenance
Element X provides an inspection and repair solution based on 3D scans using a hybrid manufacturing approach.
Element X Repair & Maintenance Process
1
3D Scan
Automatically create a digital copy of existing equipment
2
Compare
Compare the digital copy with a reference model (e.g., CAD, CAM, basic geometry, nominal scan).
3
Identify
Identify the areas of interest that differ and need repair.
4
Process
Create a repair strategy that 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.
