Crankshaft

3D Model

This geometry-rich model of an internal combustion engine’s crankshaft was scanned in just 8 minutes with the wireless Artec Leo 3D scanner in HD Mode. Full of intricate and hard-to-reach parts – and shiny surfaces as a bonus – this mechanical component was hardly a challenge for Leo. As you can see for yourself, the scanner did an excellent job of capturing all the parts – including the tiniest ones– with minimal noise and in an impressively high resolution. You can see all the holes on the flywheel flange and main bearing journals, as well as the small oil passageways. HD reconstruction was complete in just 4 minutes, after which our 3D specialist aligned and fused the scans in Artec Studio within 10 minutes. And just like that, the model was made. With Leo in HD Mode, you can easily digitize mechanical parts and more in up to 0.2 mm resolution – whether you need to replicate and compare it to the base CAD model or drawing as part of your inspection workflow, or reverse engineer it for a new redesign.
