AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing 3D scanning methods for industrial objects face limitations due to the need for manual placement of reference markings, which are time-consuming, prone to errors, and restrict accuracy, especially when attaching to non-flat surfaces, and lack precise measurement tools for center-to-center distances.

Method used

Magnetic target plates with defined geometry and texture, equipped with magnets on multiple sides, allowing versatile attachment and precise positioning, combined with measuring devices, to enhance scanning accuracy and flexibility.

Benefits of technology

Enables faster, more accurate, and robust 3D scanning by allowing multiple attachment points and precise measurement, reducing human error and adhesive residue, while supporting post-processing with defined geometric references.

Abstract

Magnetic target plate (100) for capturing three-dimensional geometries by 3D scanning, comprising: a base plate (102) with a printed or affixed, preferably uniquely identifiable and referenceable texture (104), for example an AprilTag, a QR code or a registration mark, on a front side as a target, wherein the base plate (102) has a plurality of magnets (106) at defined positions on at least one side, e.g. on its narrow sides, on its front and / or on its back.
