3D Scanning of Frog Castings
By: Isabelle Roy
26 Nov 2012Based in the Czech Republic, DT is a leader manufacturer of turnout structures for railways, undergrounds and tramway tracks. Using a Handyscan 3D portable self-positioning 3D scanner from Creaform, DT scans the frog casting of rails. The profile and geometry are scanned for further monitoring of running edges surfaces in operating conditions.
The Go!SCAN 3D is off to a very good start!
