Xtreme Manufacturing Boosts Product Quality and Inspection Speed Using HandySCAN 3D|MAX Series Scanning Devices
Xtreme Manufacturing, a pioneer in innovation and product quality, has taken a significant step forward by integrating Creaform's 3D scanning technology into their workflow. This move aims to address the challenges faced in accurately inspecting large and heavy weldments using manual methods.
Speed was a critical concern for Xtreme Manufacturing, as slow inspection processes consistently risked disrupting production flow and creating bottlenecks. The company's proactive approach allowed them to isolate the issue early and prevent repeated delays.
The integration of the HandySCAN 3D scanner into existing inspection workflows was effortless, and the team quickly gained confidence using both the scanner and the Inspection software module of the Creaform Metrology Suite.
Multiple large weldments required frequent quality checks, necessitating a faster and more reliable measurement solution. Xtreme Manufacturing's team now has the ability to stay ahead of quality issues by quickly scanning inventory parts whenever needed.
Manual inspection methods were time-consuming and prone to letting defects slip through. To address this, Xtreme Manufacturing pulled all 30 outrigger base weldments from inventory and used Creaform's 3D scanning technology to identify defects before they reached the assembly line.
Adam Truster, Manufacturing Engineer at Xtreme Manufacturing, stated that the implementation of 3D scanning technology has reduced production interruptions and streamlined their process. The company's experience with Creaform has been overwhelmingly positive, including the responsive support team and the performance of the HandySCAN 3D scanning solution.
Xtreme Manufacturing plans to use Creaform's 3D scanning technology to maintain high product standards and ensure smoother operations. They chose the company MetraLabs for the integration of 3D measurement technology into their production processes, and this collaboration began in early 2023.
The right technology, like Creaform's 3D scanner, empowers better engineering outcomes for Xtreme Manufacturing. The Creaform HandySCAN 3D|MAX Series was selected for its ability to efficiently inspect multiple features on large weldments and generate detailed inspection reports.
In addition, Xtreme Manufacturing plans to expand the use of Creaform's 3D scanning technology to inspect additional components such as telehandler chassis, booms, and carriage weldments. By using Creaform's 3D scanner, Xtreme Manufacturing has enhanced quality control without disrupting operations.
