M3D
Mobile 3D scanning for 3D printing directly in the plant
3D technology is about to revolutionise all steps of the logistics process behind the recognition, procurement and manufacturing of spare parts. Under the M3D project, an entire chain of processes is being developed. From the creation of three-dimensional images of spare parts using a mobile scanning robot and the identification of spare parts using 3D models, all the way to producing the parts using 3D printing directly in the plant if the parts are unavailable or cannot be located in the warehouse. In this last case, a simulation is carried out to find out whether the spare part will maintain its full functionality if it is manufactured using 3D printing. This helps to considerably speed up the manufacturing of spare parts and reduces machine downtime, production shortfalls and logistics costs.
