How does 3d scanning help KTM motor racing win ?

Welcome to issue 3 of our Newsletter - The Logbook.

This weeks newsletter features an article in which the KTM racing crew discusses how portable 3D laser scanning has given them a huge advantage in the World of moto GP and off-road racing.

The KTM racing team uses portable 3D laser scanners to obtain point clouds and then convert these into 3D Mesh models ( STL files) of both the bike components and also the motorbike with rider mounted to understand the aerodynamics and ergonomics better.

We also highlight some of the questions / reasons why you should be considering adopting 3d Laser scanning into your dimensional quality control program. We then go on to explain how a 3d laser scanning program can offer you accurate, fast, portable and Versatile 3d clarity if dimensional tolerances are being met on the production floor.
