Quality Digest published a great article this week about how GE Appliances (GEA) utilise 3D metrology tools including ATOS 3D scanners, TRITOP photogrammetry and ScanBox for high quality engineering solutions.
The article discusses how GEA have been making high quality appliances from ovens to water heaters for over 125 years in the US and are renowned for the longevity of their products, thanks to their commitment to “technological innovation” and better manufacturing processes.
In recent years, GEA’s innovative approach have lead them to using GOM technologies – ATOS and TRIPTOP specifically. Having been introduced by a partner company, “they knew that adding 3D metrology capabilities would significantly improve their processes and efficiency” and having bought into these technologies, the director of dimensional control for GEA commented “his team was instantly able to start driving improvement. Leone views the GOM systems as more than just a stand-in for the traditional CMM. He describes ATOS as a powerful engineering tool”.
“3D scanning has really opened our minds to leveraging the power of digital data” Leone told Quality Digest. We at T3DMC urge similar companies who want to strive for better manufacturing processes to improve their products for end users, to adopt this approach.
