In extrutec's machine business, designs often have to be adapted to the specific spatial conditions on site, and typically a manual side measurement is carried out at the beginning of the project. Certain key points are measured and then transferred to the CAD models for the system design. In the future, extrutec will use a 3D scanner for difficult spatial conditions. The laser measurement process generates a point cloud that is then assembled into a virtual environment on the computer. Real images are also taken to help the project team orientate themselves. The systems designed by extrutec can then be inserted into the real environment in advance and adjusted to the exact dimensions. In this way, space problems and interfering edges can be identified at an early stage and the installation time can be further reduced.
