Today we're going to be looking at the auto scan Inspec2 from SHINING, which is their new metrology scanner focussed on scanning small parts to very high levels of accuracy. You can see here it's got this kind of robot arm setup that moves the part around to do the scanning. And it's accurate to ten microns. So very accurate for its price. Now if we jump straight into it and do some scanning I'll hit the start scan button over here. And you can see how it operates. So it's going to move the part around try and hit different angles and try and fill in the whole part from all different sides. So you’ll see it do all the sides, then it’ll go in and do the top face. And there we go. That's the whole scan. You can see it appear on the screen. So I'm just going to pan around that, check we're happy with it. And at this point we can delete data from it. So you can see because I've got it in the vice grips I might just move my cutting plane up a little bit so it cuts out the vise there, now it’s obvisouly got really good scan of one side. In fact we can see the quality of it. We zoom in on the text on the front here you can see how it's captured, the tiny little text up there. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to flip it over now in the vise, turn it the other way up and we can do a scan of the other side of it. And we can then use that scan, in conjunction with this one, it’ll join them together to make it into one file for us. Then we can inspect them or reverse engineer them together as one. So let me just tighten this in. There we go. That's tightened. We then hit flip scan and it will now do a scan again. But it knows it’s scanning the other side so it’s going to do the scan and will look at aligning them together. So you see as it's scanning as well it's projecting these lines onto the part moves them across the part. And it's taking measurements of lots of different points over the part to, figure out its shape and do that accurately. And there we go. Scan of the other side. Done already. Again, spin this around and see where I've picked up the vise. Again. I'm just going to pull my cutting plane a little bit higher to get rid of that. That's our two sides. Done. There's a few neat features that we got in here that we can use. The key one is the ability to fill in data. So say we've got most of this here. But we realise there's something missing. We can go and say, actually I want to take another frame from, let's say this view here, we can go and rescan just that view, and it's going to line up with my view on my camera, on my computer and go and add to that, since it's added a frame there, it also has an intelligent add scan. And this is where it's going in adding data in. So, say you can select an area, say it's missing some data over here and it'll go and fill it in from lots of different angles to try and capture that bit specifically and try and keep going until it fills in the holes. It's very, very clever for that. Now we can hit align to join the two and we can see how it's decided to align them. So we just got to check that, make sure we're happy with it. As long as we're happy. We can confirm that. And that's our complete scan. The last thing to do now is just merge them all together and create one final file. So I'll go to post-processing. We can set a few, parameters and then we'll hit confirm. And that'll do its last bit of processing to create it into one STL file. And here we see our final result. And here we can edit things as well. So what I quite commonly like to do is select just what we want to keep. So I'll select the main part there. Then we can invert that and delete everything else that's not connected. So get rid of any floating bits there. And if we're happy that get rid of that. There we go. And then from here we can save it as an STL file if we're going to go and reverse engineer it. Or another very handy thing that's built into this software is inspection. So you can have pre-made inspection reports for the parts. So this is aimed more towards people who have a manufacturing line and say they want to check stuff periodically from their manufacturing line. So you can go take a part off, put it in the AutoScan Inspec and it will go through, scan the part, join it all together and give you an inspection report right there. So in under five minutes you can have a full inspection report pass fail on that part. So it's very quick to do that analysis. So yeah, that’s the AutoScan Inspec2 Thanks for watching. If you’ve got any questions you want to see any more of it. If you want to come try it with your own parts, come visit us then do let us know. Reach out to us.
