Metrology / 3D Scanning

Capture Real-World Geometry with Engineering Accuracy

Metrology & 3D Scanning provides precise dimensional analysis and digital modelling support for rotating equipment components and assemblies. Blackstone uses advanced scanning and measurement technologies to support inspection, re-engineering, validation, and equipment restoration activities across critical industrial assets.

 

 

CORE CAPABILITIES

Precision measurement and digital modelling designed to support accurate engineering decisions.

Data Capture

We collect critical data to define your component’s dimensions, material properties, and operating context.

Dimensional

  • High-resolution 3D Scans for precise geometric data
  • Manual measurements using micrometers, verniers, gauges, and surface finish analysis

Material Analysis

  • X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) to identify metallic compositions
  • Hardness testing to identify heat treatment requirements

Contextual Insights

  • Understanding how the item interfaces with surrounding components
  • Capturing supporting data to define physical constraints

Data Archiving

  • Migrating all records into Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems
  • Allocating attributes for easy reference and future use

Engineering & Digital Modeling

Transforming scanned data into actionable designs and validated engineering models.

3D Modelling

  • Convert scan data into a high-accuracy CAD model
  • Validate CAD model against scans using datum based alignments & surface deviation analysis

Manufacturing Drawings

  • Generate 2D drawings from 3D models for fabrication
  • Apply contextual adjustments for optimal performance

Engineering Definition & Compliance

  • Define material specs (heat treatment, NACE standards, etc.)
  • Ensure compliance with Industry standards (API, ASME, ISO etc) & customer specifications

Authentication & Validation

  • Apply engineering authentication as required by customer and or the jurisdictional authority

Optional: Performance Validation

  • Conduct FEA/CFD analysis to test and validate designs under real-world conditions
