Metalpol, Poland’s oldest foundry, were faced with the challenge of how to improve quality control for precision castings used within the automotive industry among others. The sheer variation in their precision castings – from large components to small, complex 3D parts – made manual quality controlnearly impossible. To solve this problem, they turned to modern technology: the eviXscan 3D scanner. This automated system captures every minute detail of a casting, ensuring flawless quality control. Moreover, the eviXscanallows the company to recreate parts for which no blueprints exist with reverse engineering. This integration of old-world craftsmanship with state-of-the-art 3D scanning technology has transformed Metalpol’s operations, making them faster, more efficient, and even more competitive aligning with the highest standards in the automotive industry.
EviXscan recommended the use of an eviXscan 3D Pro+ scanner, seamlessly integrated with a 200KG turntable, facilitating swift and efficient scanning of large and heavy castings.
This advanced 3D scanning technology generates precise and detailed measurement data for the intricate castings manufactured at the foundry. The data obtained is compared against the customer-supplied CAD model, ensuring strict adherence to design specifications.
More advantage has been realised with prototype castings. The measurement data obtained serves as a valuable tool for collaboration with the data shared with the customer, allowing for thorough study and approval before initiating the full-scale production run. This approach not only ensures the alignment of the final product with customer expectations but also enhances transparency and collaboration in the manufacturing process. Also, in the case of no CAD data being available, the system can be used for reverse engineering of automotive castings where parts are available.

Built for the future, we recommend the 2 in 1, Quadro+ for 3D scanning technology that can even cater to customers without specific drawings for a particular component. A sample can be subjected to 3D scanning, from which a detailed CAD model is generated. This initial model undergoes refinement, leading to the creation of a prototype. Should the prototype meet the customer’s requirements, it serves as the green light to start commercial production. This is just one of the assets of the eviXscan, and a must for any business looking for a more streamlined approach.
High-quality 3D scanner based on structured light technologyThe eviXscan FinePrecision is a high precision 3D scanner designed for capturing intricate details on small objects with high detail and is used in reverse engineering and as a metrology 3D scannerThe remarkable high point density of 1233 points per mm2 provides an extremely high accuracy of less than 0.006mm (6µm) ensuring the smallest features are detected. Despite its unparalleled precision it can scan an object in as little as 1 second with a measuring range of 120 x 60 x 32 mm, it is perfectly designed for small object scanning in the range from 2mm to 120mm,The FinePrecision uses the Structured Light Technology combined with blue LED light source for optimal object illumination, while two 9Mpix cameras capture detailed images. It is equipped with User-Friendly software and versatile export formats such as STL, PLY, OBJ, ASC, and BIN.Designed as a small object 3D scanner it has many uses in many industries including Jewellery, Dental, Medical implants, Precision mechanics, Watchmaking, Small parts inspection, Miniature component scanning, Micro-assembly 3D scanning. Turbine blade inspection (small), Microcircuit 3D scanning
Unmatched Precision for Industrial Metrology & Quality ControlThe eviXscan Optima+M is an industrial structured light 3D scanner used in design houses, CNC manufacturing and engineering workshopIt uses a blue LED light source and dual 7 Mpix high-resolution cameras for highly accurate 3D data. This produces 117 pts/mm² true 3D surface model data collection of medium size objects from 70mm - 1000mm.The Optima+M delivers measurement accuracy down to 0.009 mm, validated by VDI/VDE 2634 Part 2 standards. It scans objects quickly, in as little as 1.2 seconds. Designed for production, the eviXscan 3D Suite software is used for point cloud processing, mesh editing, and data export (STL, OBJ, PLY), it allows easy extraction of GD&T data or reverse engineering. The compact design it integrates easily into production and can be used with cobotsIt's used across many industries including Automotive, Aerospace, Heavy Industry, Electronics, Tooling, R&D, and Medical sectors
