Planteamiento de una solución automatizada al proceso de manufactura de moldes y modelos para ASTEMODEL S.A.S.

Abstract

this article presents a 3D scanning technique used for the auto parts' replication such as: seats, doors' pockets, frontal panels, false floors, ceilings, head supports, among others. These pieces are generally amorphous, for this reason, the surveying of a CDA plane requires long and complex manual works with specialized methodologies in technical drawing. Thus, in this project several digitalization alternatives are studied by the use of a 3D scanner, showing the advantages and disadvantages of each technology, according to its physical operation principle, the cost-benefit factor and the application feasibility. Then, the gathered data analysis, software used and the advantages and disadvantages of each one are described. Finally, a balance is presented about the benefits that this implementation system can have compared to the traditional method of parts digitalization for the molds and models' manufacture, currently used by the company ASTEMODEL S.A.S
