Many manufacturing processes require a CAD model.
If you are creating one for an existing facility, it is much easier to work from a 3D scan than from scratch. In the world of 3D scanning, this approach is called the "scan-to-CAD workflow," and it's what allows a well-known automaker to quickly turn an elegant prototype into a manufacturable model.
Blackstone Tek (BST) specialises in the manufacture of carbon fibre products for motorcycles. A love of racing drives the company to innovate and create cutting-edge parts that include very light and strong wheels, fuel tanks, swingarms, housings and custom components for iconic automotive brands.
A new addition to their lineup is an electric motorcycle - the HyperTek. This was the vision of Pierre Terblanche, a designer who has worked on world-famous vehicles such as Ducati's 999, HyperMotard and SuperMono.
Blackstone Tek's HyperTek parts were initially modeled by hand, then digitized in Geomagic Design X. - "The most efficient approach to digitizing models". Their solution combines 3D scanning and reverse engineering. The team used an eviXscan 3D Heavy Duty Optima scanner, eviXscan Suite 3D scanning software and Oqton's Geomagic Design X program to recreate the entire model in CAD.
The future of 3D scanning in the 
automotive industry
The 3D scanning use cases for the Automotive sector abound. Beyond new product development, you can use it to reverse engineer broken or worn parts, carry out quality inspection, to customize vehicles or do 3D visualizations for events.
