One of the world's leading jet engine manufacturers is expanding its global market by tackling the seemingly impossible job of field-servicing not only their own turbine engines, but turbines from competing manufacturers as well. Engineers first capture parts data using an industrial CT scanner. With Geomagic Studio, they quickly convert that data into accurate, manufacturable Digital Duplicates, maintaining all of the detailed geometry of the complex internal structure. Creating Digital Duplicates allows instant transmission of 3D parts models to any facility worldwide, finite element analysis for stress and flow dynamics, faster tooling processes, and accurate assembly checks. Recreating such parts using manual surfacing methods involves too much interpretation that could affect performance adversely.
Time is a critical factor when servicing aircraft.
Geomagic Studio can, without exaggeration, be regarded as the most productive software for surface reconstruction available today by far. Based on our detailed knowledge of almost every market-relevant competitor we find that no other software offers the same level of work flow orientation, user interface quality, power of functionalities, and speed. Traditional approaches require considerable effort and in-depth skills from the user.
