3D scanning & engineering for rail
3D scanning for rail surveys rolling stock, frames, bogies and jigs, inspects their geometry and reverse-engineers parts without documentation — for maintenance, refurbishment and bringing assets back into conformity.
Describe my needYour challenges
- Rolling stock and frames to survey for refurbishment or maintenance
- Parts and jigs to reproduce without usable drawings
- Geometric inspection of large welded assemblies
- Integration of equipment into a constrained onboard space
Our answers
On-site 3D surveyNon-contact laser scanning in constrained zones, difficult access or at height — without extended shutdown.Reverse engineeringReconstruction of missing drawings, as-surveyed, to remanufacture or modify.Geometric inspectionMeasurement of deviations, wear and deformation, tracked over time.Simulation & trial assemblyValidation of integration and handling before works.
The SCAD difference: mechanical precision
Most 3D scanning providers target buildings, to the centimetre. SCAD Engineering scans at the machined-part level — down to ±0.01 mm — to reproduce, inspect or modify an industrial component. It is this metrological standard that we bring to rail.
