Penta Patterns - We are shaping innovation


		3D Laser Scanning Laser Scanning is the process of capturing the form of an object both quickly and very accurately, enabling you to take it into a CAD 3D environment. This is carried out ‘non contact’ so there is no risk of damage to parts or artifacts. We have the ability to capture prismatic/geometric data to freeform parts, both large and small. The ‘Point Cloud or Scan Data’ captured, can be used for a number of downsteam processes such as Inspection, Rapid Prototyping, CNC Milling, Design, and Reverse Engineering to name a few, and can be applied to a number of industries for example – Automotive / Aerospace / Heritage / Art & Sculpture. Reverse Engineering Reverse Engineering is the process of taking a physical part, and through Laser Scanning produce a 3 dimensional CAD surface Model. By employing this technology, parts that have little or no data and/or require modification can quickly and precisely be reproduced (reverse engineered) or modified (re-engineered) delivered in a suitable format i.e. IGES, and fed back into your process chain.

		Gain the penta advantage:
		Where models/parts exist with no CAD data or have been manually modified away from the original CAD data and need to be reproduced. Components have been damaged and there is no original data source.• Suppliers are unable or reluctant to provide parts/moulds. A record of the part/artifact is required.
