Aerospace/MRO (Maintenance and Repair Operations)
Design, manufacture, repair and maintenance of aircraft and space vehicles are time-critical operations that demand the most rigorous quality and accuracy. Aerospace manufacturing is now incredibly complex using global suppliers, consortiums and specialists to be able to deliver the designs, parts, mechatronics, software, maintenance and repair necessary to keep these systems running safely.
With the complicated demands being placed on aerospace design, engineering and maintenance teams, technologies need to be able to support the tasks they do daily – design, engineering, retrofit, replacement parts, inspection and more.
Geomagic Studio and Geomagic Qualify offer the highest accuracy for aerospace engineers, inspections teams and MRO officers to enable them to rapidly reproduce parts, simulate retrofit processes and design from existing physical objects. Working from 3D point clouds, Geomagic software integrates directly with CAD/Cam systems, delivers tools for Turbine inspection, and 3D data for CAE analysis.
Benefits:
With Geomagic, aerospace manufacturers, suppliers and inspection companies can:
- Minimize delays in the manufacturing supply chain
- Increase productivity in design of airframes, wing components, structure members and aircraft interiors
- Dramatically improve return-to-service cycles
- Minimize downtime of vehicles
- Improve safety of parts and vehicles
Software tuned to engineers’ needs:
Geomagic Studio is the industry’s most accurate reverse engineering software enabling fast, rapid transformation of 3D point cloud data into 3D models using both polygons and curved surfaces. The software excels at:
- Creation of as-built parts in 3D for use in CFD, FEA and other testing scenarios
- Origination of 3D data of parts for which no CAD data is available
- Building 3D models of aircraft interiors and other areas for retrofit and refurbishment
Geomagic Qualify delivers certified, integrated inspection tools to enable aerospace engineers meet safety and performance standards on mission-critical projects. The software integrates with all standard industry scanners and existing 3D CAD data to enable:
- Rapid comparison of original design data to as-built data
- Fast, accurate assessment of out-of-tolerance conditions, wall thicknesses, GD&T tolerances etc.
- Comprehensive and automated reporting of differences found in easy-to-read report formats
- Certified by NIST and PTB
Geomagic Blade is an optional module for Geomagic Qualify that provides specialized features for evaluating, testing and qualifying turbine blades, rotors, stators and components. It enables complete surface and feature inspection for verification to ensure parts meet tolerance, functional and performance specifications.
