What do you do when your home is infested with pests, rows of ants crawl across windowsills, and mice hide in your basement? The good news is that there are companies that can help you with their products
.
One of those companies is Orma
.
Orma Corporation relied on Steelte Corporation to improve the functionality of its existing products to create an optimized and safe rat bait dispensing system
.
Steelte srl is a recently established Italian start-up company serving the automotive and machinery industries
.
Its business mainly involves milling products, FFF additive 3D printing, planning services, dimensional control and reverse engineering
.
Product optimization
The task of taking over this time is to update the design of the distribution system and develop a new version optimized for printing to provide users with better performance
.
Updating the design was necessary because many changes made to the product over time were not incorporated into the technical drawings at the time
.
Next, based on the updated design, a new version was designed according to the standard requested by the customer
.
Steelte mainly provides the following services to Orma:
1
3D scanning and post-processing of the existing mousetrap pod and its cover using Creaform's metrology-grade portable 3D scanner HandySCAN 3D and the scan-to-CAD software module VXmodel in its companion application software platform VXelements
2
Reverse Engineering: Reverse Engineering a Mousetrap and Comparison of Original Model and Reverse Scan Results
3
Correct some production errors with 3D modeling
Insert customer-proposed functional changes and rebuild a new CAD model of the mousetrap in Dassault's CATIA V5 software
Prototyping with 3D FFF printing
4
Dimensional control of prototypes and report generation in VXelements
Comparison of Portable 3D Scanners and Measuring Arms
Before purchasing the HandySCAN 3D, a metrology-grade portable 3D scanner, Steelte used a conventional measurement arm, which had very limited capabilities compared to portable 3D scanners
.
Steelte chose the HandySCAN 3D, Creaform's metrology-grade portable 3D scanner, for its fast acquisition speed and high scan accuracy
.
In contrast to the measuring arm, the scanning system is not restricted in terms of movement and can be rotated and moved during the scanning process, thus enabling fast and precise acquisition of all surfaces of the scanned object, even complex geometries, openings and apertures
.
In addition, the 3D scanner is extremely portable: packed in a small carrying case, it can be taken anywhere to scan objects quickly and easily
.
It does not require as rigorous a configuration as a measuring arm and can provide accurate measurement data even in harsh production workshops
.
"With its advanced technology, ease of use and portability, Creaform's innovative scanning system allows us to speed up the scanning process, produce more accurate products, and improve our Productivity .
We love HandySCAN 3D
.
Given the pleasure of working with Creaform from the demo stage all the way to the training session, we hope to continue working with them and we will definitely be purchasing more Creaform products in the future
