In special vehicle construction, precision is everything. Sören Tanneberger (3D scanning expert and BHT lecturer) was invited to Apprich Secur GmbH to integrate digital workflows into their armored vehicle modification.
The Challenge in Special Construction:
The process is intense: vehicles are stripped out, modified for security, and then refitted with OEM components. However, armor integration creates new gaps and interference geometries, making reinstallation labor-intensive and manual measurements unreliable.
The Digital Solution:
By capturing the real interior environment through 3D scanning, the team creates a reliable digital reference early in the process.
· Revopoint Trackit captures large installation scenarios markerless.
· MetroY Pro digitizes detail-critical areas with sub-millimeter precision.
· Reverse Engineering then converts these real-world conditions into digital models for targeted design refinement.
The Impact of 3D Scanning & Additive Manufacturing:
This synergy allows for Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), enabling components to be structurally improved and adapted for modern production.
Why it matters for SMEs:
Flexibility: Change digital models instantly without rebuilding physical molds.
Efficiency: Reduce lead times and high costs of traditional tooling
Predictability: Easily manage one-off parts and small production runs with a robust, reproducible process.
