The Problem
A client specializing in automotive customization sought to design and develop a unique, high-quality body kit for a Brabus G-Wagon. A key challenge was that the manufacturing of these custom components was planned to occur at an offshore facility. To ensure a seamless and precise fit upon final installation, the manufacturer required exceptionally accurate dimensional data of the vehicle's specific mounting points and surfaces.
Obtaining exact measurements for complex parts like bumpers, fenders, and custom additions is critical. Any inaccuracies could lead to poorly fitting parts, requiring costly rework, shipping delays, and potentially multiple rounds of prototyping – significantly increasing the overall development cost and time.
Our Solution
To provide the necessary high-fidelity data, our team performed comprehensive 3D scanning of the target areas on the Brabus G-Wagon. Using advanced 3D scanning equipment, we meticulously captured the precise geometry of the following components:
Front Bumper
Rear Bumper
Fenders
Foot Supports (Running Boards)
Roof Light Area
Bonnet (Hood)
This non-contact scanning process allowed us to quickly gather detailed surface and mounting point information without disturbing the vehicle. We then processed this data into accurate 3D digital models.
The Result & Benefits
The detailed 3D scan data served as a precise digital twin of the vehicle's relevant sections, which we delivered to the client and their offshore manufacturer. This enabled them to:
Design with Confidence: Engineers could design the custom kit components with exact dimensions, ensuring alignment with the G-Wagon's specific mounting points and body contours.
Reduce Design Iterations: Access to accurate base data significantly minimized the typically iterative process of design adjustments and physical prototyping.
Streamline Manufacturing: The offshore plant could produce the parts based on reliable data, guaranteeing a high-quality fit right from the start.
Save Development Costs: By reducing prototyping rounds and avoiding costly rework associated with poor fitment, our 3D scanning solution led to significant savings in overall development costs and accelerated the time-to-market for the custom kit.
Our precision scanning service provided the essential foundation for the successful remote development and manufacturing of a bespoke automotive kit, ensuring quality and cost-effectiveness.
