Finding Out about 3D Scanning
if you feel as though you or your company could potentially benefit from reverse engineering services, then you need to first do some research into the matter so that you know exactly what it is before you hire someone to do it for you. You’ll also need to know about dimensional inspection, so perhaps [...]
Choosing a Scanning Service Provider
We recently received this question from a company and felt everyone with 3D laser scanning and metrology needs would benefit from hearing the response!
Question: In the past, I have tried scanning service providers who promised quality 3D data for reverse engineering at a low price, only to be disappointed with the results. How can [...]
The Benefits of 3D Scanning
If you have managed a production team for any amount of time, it is important for you to have at least a rudimentary understanding of 3D scanning. While you probably have members of your team who specialize in this area, it’s imperative for you as a decision maker to understand a little about the elements [...]
Finding 3D Scanning Companies Online
It’s no secret that manufacturing as a field is more competitive than ever in recent history. If you’re in the management of a manufacturing firm of any size, then you know this better than anyone. Contract inspection is a very important part of research and development for many companies, and it’s important that you find [...]
Increasing Bottom-Line Profitability
In our current economy companies have tried to operate more efficiently and leaner in order to increase profits. There has been a push to reduce staff, gain tighter quality control and more automated processes. All of these tactics can help, however reducing time to market creates the biggest opportunity to increase bottom-line profitability.
Many industries are [...]
Kick Scooter Design Aided by 3D Scanning
The applications of 3D Scanning spans the gamut from 3D CAD model creation to product design and development to testing and analysis. GKS recently performed a project for a racing optics company involved all of those phases – full engineering services to bring about a successful product launch.
Our recent client makes innovative optics for racing [...]
Reverse Engineering: Things to Know
We were recently contacted by the editors at Time Compression Technologies Magazine who wanted to give their readers some insight into reverse engineering, answering questions such as:
What do you do if you have a die or mold that was made long ago and you don’t have any computer-aided design (CAD) data for it?
What do you [...]

Our Weird and Wacky Series Continues…
Solid Gold Athletic Shoe Necklace
A custom jewelry design company with high-profile customers required the high precision of laser scanning to create a unique piece for a unique customer. The customer, a professional athlete with his own line of shoes, wanted to make exact replicas to 1/10 scale of all of [...]
What is a color deviation map? How can I use one?
A color deviation map (sometimes called a deviation plot) is a super tool for inspection applications, and 3D laser scanning is the fastest and most complete way to produce one. All manufactured parts, whether they be molded, cast, milled, or manually shaped, deviate from the original design intent because of the inherent inaccuracies of [...]
