Case Study: Modellteknik speeds reverse engineering and inspection with Hexagon Absolute Arm

Engineering company uses the quick scanning of an Absolute Arm to verify parts and capture them for optimisation in CAD

Modellteknik, an engineering company serving Swedish manufacturers for over 60 years, faced a challenge in meeting the demands of its contract manufacturing and reverse engineering services. They required a solution to quickly verify parts and capture complex component data to optimize CAD designs while maintaining short lead times. They partnered with vendor Hexagon to address this need.

Hexagon provided Modellteknik with an Absolute Arm, a portable measuring arm with an integrated laser scanner. This solution enabled the efficient reverse engineering of damaged parts and quick inspection of incoming goods. The portability of the arm allowed technicians to scan products on-site at customer locations, saving time and enhancing collaboration. As a result, Modellteknik's designers gained more time to optimize CAD models and produce new, improved tools for their clients.
