Q-PLUS Labs’ Case Study: 3D Scanning of USS Freedom
Lockheed Martin required Q-PLUS Labs’ measurement expertise to generate quick results via 3D scan data of the rear doors of the USS Freedom in San Diego, California. As a new breed of warship, the littoral combat ship (LCS) was designed to be a fast and [...]
Q-PLUS Labs’ Case Study: California State University, Fullerton SAE Race Car Engine Dimensional Analysis
California State University, Fullerton’s Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) chapter chose Q-PLUS Labs to aid them with the challenge to compete in the Formula SAE, a competition which encompasses designing, building, and competing a mini-formula style race car that will be evaluated for its potential as [...]
Q-PLUS Labs’ Case Study: Creosote Bush Scanning for Harvard University Graduate School
Introduction This unique scanning project came to Q-PLUS Labs as a result of a client needing a 3D scan of a creosote bush’s root system for his graduate project. The creosote roots initially posed a challenge to scan due to the irregular geometry of [...]
Butter Dish 2.0: A Reverse Engineering Case Study
When we talk about reverse engineering and dimensional measurement, we often refer to manufactured parts, engineering tolerances, and other abstract concepts. Although we don’t often encounter this particular type of project, this case study provides an excellent example of reverse engineering in action. Mike M. came [...]
