Traditional inspection methods often separate part and mold testing, resulting in isolated data that makes it difficult to trace issues back to their source. The AlphaScan 3D scanner breaks this limitation by offering an integrated inspection solution—from steering knuckles all the way through to molds. Immediately after mold machining is complete, AlphaScan performs a high-precision 3D scan, comparing the results against the original design model to accurately assess the mold’s machining accuracy. This ensures that every curved surface, hole location, and structural feature meets the exact design specifications. Additionally, AlphaScan’s deep-hole scanning mode excels at precisely inspecting intricate features like cooling channels and ejector pin holes within the mold—delivering measurement accuracy within an impressive 0.02mm tolerance. Only when the mold itself is perfectly machined can it lay the solid foundation for producing high-quality products downstream.
