To improves quality inspection, fixture verification, and reverse engineering in construction machinery manufacturing at LiuGong.
Many exterior panels and structural components feature complex freeform surfaces that cannot be accurately measured using conventional tools such as tape measures or calipers. At the same time, fixture positioning and assembly accuracy require fast, reliable inspection methods that minimize production downtime. In product development, legacy components often lack complete CAD data, making redesign and product upgrades both time-consuming and labor-intensive.
LiuGong needed a versatile measurement solution capable of delivering high accuracy, portability, and efficient digital data acquisition throughout the entire manufacturing workflow.Продукт

By introducing SHINING 3D's high-accuracy 3D scanning technology, LiuGong established a digital measurement workflow that supports quality inspection, fixture verification, and reverse engineering.
Unlike traditional measurement tools, the handheld 3D scanners accurately capture complex geometries regardless of part size or surface complexity. Engineers can quickly generate high-resolution 3D data and directly compare scan results with CAD models, allowing dimensional deviations to be identified immediately.
Production fixtures involve numerous complex spatial dimensions, making them difficult to inspect accurately and efficiently using conventional measuring tools. During production, high-accuracy 3D scanners enable fast, on-site inspection of fixtures with minimal disruption to manufacturing operations. Their portable design allows engineers to verify critical dimensions and geometric tolerances directly on the shop floor, ensuring that fixtures consistently meet the required precision standards.
High-accuracy 3D scanning has also become an essential tool for product development.
For many legacy products where original CAD models are unavailable or incomplete, engineers can digitize physical components and quickly reconstruct accurate 3D models for redesign and optimization. This reverse engineering workflow eliminates one of the biggest obstacles in upgrading older products while significantly reducing development time.
One example involved the redesign of an operator cab. Instead of recreating the geometry manually, engineers captured the existing structure using 3D scanning and used the digital model as the foundation for the new design, greatly improving development efficiency.
Today, high-precision 3D scanning has become an integral part of LiuGong's manufacturing workflow. From digital quality inspection and fixture verification to reverse engineering and product innovation, the technology enables faster, more accurate, and more efficient measurement t
