Optical 3D Measurement System TrackScan-Sharp: A Solution for Large RV Customization

Recreational vehicles (RVs) are popular among people who enjoy traveling, and exploring the outdoors. However, not all RVs are suitable for everyone’s needs and preferences. Some people may want more space, comfort, or functionality in their RVs, while others may have specific requirements for safety, or mobility. Therefore, there is a growing demand for more customized RVs that can cater to the individual needs and desires.

 

Scantech’s high-tech optical 3D measurement systems and 3D laser scanners, a way to capture 3D data of vehicles, can help make personalized cars. In the following case, we will show you how the customer used Scantech’s 3D scanners to customize a large RV. 

 

Customize Vehicle’s Exterior Appearance

The customer in the case wants to obtain the 3D data of the whole vehicle to customize its exterior appearance by painting, applying PPF and customizing body kit and etc. The customization aims to meet the personalized needs and improve the comfort and attractiveness of the whole vehicle.

 

Challenge: Measure for Large Size and Intricate Details

The vehicle has a large size, with dimensions of 6 m × 2.5 m × 2.8 m. It would be time-consuming to measure and difficult to guarantee the precision of such a large volume.


The RV has a complex geometry, with features such as curves, grooves, arcs, and fine details. Capturing every detail completely and accurately pose great challenges for measurement methods.

 

Optical 3D Measurement System for Efficient and Precise Scanning

3D scanner: TrackScan-Sharp


 

The customer used Scantech’s optical 3D measurement system TrackScan-Sharp to scan the RV with high speed and accuracy. It has a scanning speed of up to 2.6 million measurements/s and a scanning area of of 500 mm × 600 mm. It completed the whole scanning process in just one hour.


 

 

TrackScan-Sharp has a large tracking range of up to 49 m3, with a measurement distance of up to 6m. Therefore, there was no need for engineers to move the i-Tracker frequently to measure the large VR, minimizing the errors caused by alignment. By moving the tracker for three times, the engineer was able to get the whole 3D data of the vehicle and its dimensions.


 

 

It accurately collected data from various materials on the RV, such as reflective or bright surfaces like windows, headlights, grilles, and wheel hubs, or black surfaces like chassis and tires. No powder spraying was used to to scan these materials thanks to its powerful material adaptability.


 

It has a 25 megapixel high-performance industrial camera, with a maximum measurement level accuracy of 0.025 mm. It easily captured 3D data of complex surfaces and small details on the vehicle body, with the help of its outstanding algorithm capabilities.


 

 

After scanning, the point cloud data was imported into the 3D software for processing and analysis. It generated a 3D data model that can guide the subsequent RV modification design.
