Hexagon is a three-dimensional scanner that performs a 3D scan for reverse engineering purposes of parts of vehicles and is designed for the automotive industry. The purpose of the scanner is to make sure that the various parts meet the standard deviation defined in serial production. Because the parts are three-dimensional, they need to be scanned with a special scanner that detects deviations and can verify that the parts meet the standard required.

The purpose of the scanner is to make sure that the various parts meet the standard deviation defined in serial production. Because the parts are three-dimensional, they need to be scanned with a special scanner that detects deviations and can verify that the parts meet the standard required.
Hexagon technology is extremely accurate and must be when dealing with a field in which maximum uniformity and accuracy are required. One of the significant challenges that Taga faced in this project relates to this accuracy – it was very important that the cameras will be located at the same level and point. The camera’s accurate location affects the whole scan, so the optical bench containing the cameras is made of a carbon fiber material, a very stable material that does not change over time in terms of its molecular composition.
There is a challenge of extreme heat coming from highly sophisticated cameras, so we had to develop a solution for heat dissipation, and we did this by keeping all the parts exposed to air.
The clean and iconic design of the scanner is unique in the industry and has won the “Good Design” award.
