Project Description

Many older types of aircraft are in service for which no CAD files exist. Scansite 3D specializes in 3D scanning and CAD creation to generate legacy CAD files that will import seamlessly into your CAD software. The Warthog was first commissioned in 1972. The service life has now been extended to 2028.

Output can be a polygon mesh (usually .stl format) for export to 3-D printing or CNC milling, or Scansite 3D can construct parametric NURBS models in iges or STEP format for export of parametric models to a number of major CAD packages: CATIA®, Autodesk® Inventor®, Alias®, Siemens NX®, CREO® Elements/Pro™ (Pro/ENGINEER™), SolidWorks®, SolidEdge®, and Rhino®

Tools:   Geomagic DesignX® software, GOM/ATOS 3D scanner

Project Description:

HELIMEC (formerly Helicopter Mechanical Inc.) designs high performance engine filters for helicopters. Scansite 3D created a CAD file of the Sikorsky’s external geometry for use in SolidWorks to facilitate the design of the filter housing.
