Abstract


3D scanning is an emerging technology for the dimensional quality control, due to its capabilities to provide geometric information of complex or assembled parts. For the automotive industry, characterized by such types of parts, this technology also offers the possibility of fully automated measurement and inspection of parts. This paper presents a cycle for the assessment of the dimensional accuracy of a sheet metal part obtained through hydroforming, using the processes of digitization by laser scanning and manufacturing. The device used for digitization is GOM Atos Core, used in the stages of development, quality control and production. The proposed cycle consists of scanning the die surface after machining and evaluate its accuracy, part hydroforming, scanning the hydroformed part and evaluate its accuracy. The hydroformed part deviations, which include the die deviations, will be used for improving the accuracy of the die surface, imposing its new machining. The cycle can be reloaded until the part accuracy will correspond with the design requirements. The accuracy of the studied part, after one cycle, didn’t exceed the tolerances for sheet metal parts used in automotive industry.
