The "spGauge" is a high-performance inspection tool that not only compares point cloud data with CAD data but also enables the alignment of point cloud data from master products with the point cloud data of the measurement target. Additionally, it supports alignment methods using overall shapes or parts, as well as reference features (such as planes, lines, and hole positions). This allows users to select the appropriate alignment method based on the inspection target and purpose, resulting in high-precision inspection results. 【Alignment (Excerpt)】 ■ Alignment at reference features ■ Alignment at cross-sections ■ Touch alignment ■ Alignment that matches corresponding surfaces *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

"spScan" is a reverse engineering software that can create high-quality surfaces from point cloud measurements. It is utilized as a tool to support product design and analysis in various manufacturing industries, including automotive, home appliances, and medical devices. With continuous development and improvements, it features functions that reflect various user needs. It enables surface creation tailored to specific purposes, such as "reproducing faithful shapes with minimal error from point clouds" and "creating smooth surfaces with fewer control points." 【Features】 ■ Surface creation ■ Evaluation functions ■ Design ■ Analysis ■ Design and prototyping *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

When a company introduces multiple CAD software, there is the challenge of increasing maintenance costs and the complexity of operational management for each software. Expensive maintenance contracts and software update costs can become a financial burden. "spGate" addresses this issue by supporting various CAD formats with a single software, significantly reducing these costs and efforts. For example, there have been cases where the maintenance cost for multiple CAD systems, which was 2.71 million yen annually, was reduced to 380,000 yen per year with just one spGate, achieving a reduction of about 85%. 【Features and Benefits】 - Consolidation of maintenance costs: Aggregating the maintenance costs of multiple CAD licenses into spGate. - Simplification of operational management: Addressing various CAD formats with just one spGate, reducing the effort required for managing and operating multiple software. - Wide format support: Standard support for major 3D CAD data formats such as CATIA, NX, Creo, ALIAS, Rhinoceros, Maya, CAM-TOOL, IGES, STEP, STL, etc. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

T-Promotion is a system that uses polygon data from the front and back of press panels (non-contact measurement data) to evaluate the thickness variation rate relative to the reference plate thickness. *Patent pending. It allows for the confirmation of trends in the overall thickness variation rate of the panel and eliminates measurement omissions. It is effective for detecting thickness reduction and necking areas. The application of thickness evaluation is effective in the following operations: - Utilizing thickness evaluation during the production preparation stage ✓ Confirming the occurrence of necking and cracking ✓ Identifying processes where thickness reduction occurs: Evaluating thickness between process panels, determining at which process the thickness reduction is happening ✓ Evaluating formability: When changing press conditions, identifying which conditions result in less thickness reduction - Detecting changes through regular thickness evaluations of panels after mass production and utilizing this for maintenance.

The shapes obtained from non-contact measurement of molds and products are deformed to create mesh shape data for analysis based on the STL. This allows for the integration of the "real" shape of the physical object into "virtual" analysis technology, making it possible to apply digital twin technology that reproduces the real world digitally. [Application as Real CAE Analysis in Press Panel Forming Analysis] By utilizing the mesh deformation technology of AE-Deform, it becomes possible to compare the virtual data of press panel products with the actual data based on the deformed mold shape that reflects the deformation and know-how. This enables optimization of modification plans and reduction of man-hours. [Application as Real FEM Analysis in Collision Analysis and Prototyping] With AE-Deform, it is possible to deform the mesh data for FEM analysis based on the product CAD data from the design phase to fit the actual shape of the press panel. By conducting FEM analysis using the deformed mesh data, realistic collision and safety performance analysis can be performed before actual collision tests. This can reduce the trial and error man-hours in testing through prior verification and improve development efficiency.

At Ballast Seven Co., Ltd., which specializes in the design of ship modifications, they conducted designs based on point clouds measured with a 3D laser scanner to accurately grasp the differences between the actual ship and the completed drawings. However, conventional 3D CAD systems could not handle point clouds, resulting in lengthy modeling times. To address this, they introduced "ClassNK-PEERLESS," which excels in automatic modeling of piping and steel materials. By simply selecting a portion of the point cloud, they could automatically generate piping and extend it to the appropriate diameter according to standards, significantly reducing modeling labor. As a result, they completed modeling for 300 shots in less than 80 hours, achieving a short delivery time of about three months from order to completion. Curved structures such as outer plates can now be easily created, and the improvement in model accuracy has proven effective in explaining to customers. The company is also looking to leverage this technology for expansion into land-based fields in the future. [Results of Implementation] - Significant reduction in labor hours due to automatic modeling functions for piping and steel materials. - Completion of modeling for 300 shots in less than 80 hours, achieving short-term engineering within three months. - Promotion of expansion into other industries such as plants by utilizing accumulated 3D modeling technology.

At Office K1 Co., Ltd., which is working on promoting DX for bridges, point cloud data is utilized to confirm the current state of existing bridges. To address structures like old bridges that do not have drawings, they have begun creating 2D drawings through modeling. However, conventional software struggled to balance accuracy and usability, and processing speed was also an issue. In response, they introduced "ClassNK-PEERLESS," which allows for easy operation and high-precision modeling. For the modeling of drainage system piping, they applied piping functions to steel members such as main girders and cross girders, creating an environment that can flexibly accommodate bridge structures. After the introduction, the time for a series of tasks from field measurement to modeling was significantly reduced from about one week to approximately 10 hours (per span). Additionally, they built an in-house simulator based on the simple models created with PEERLESS, allowing for pre-checking of scan positions and blind spots, further expanding the range of applications for point cloud data. 【Results of Implementation】 - The work time from field measurement to modeling was significantly reduced from about one week to 10 hours. - An in-house simulator was built based on simple models to pre-check scan positions and blind spots, expanding the scope of point cloud utilization.
