AsorCAD has presented its advances at Advanced Factories 2026, a key event for Industry 4.0. The company focused its exhibition on the integration of two workflows: high-precision 3D scanning and additive manufacturing. Its proposal aims to optimize reverse engineering processes, quality control, and production of final parts, reducing development times and increasing flexibility in industrial environments.
Integration of scanning and 3D printing workflows 🚀
The scanning systems presented capture complex geometries quickly, generating precise digital models for analysis or redesign. In parallel, their additive manufacturing solutions work with various materials, producing everything from prototypes to functional components. The connection between both systems enables a closed cycle: digitize an object, modify it in software, and manufacture a new or improved version, streamlining customization and on-demand production.
From I scan it to I print it in a heartbeat 😮
With this integration, the development cycle shortens so much it almost gives you vertigo. You can scan the broken coffee maker part at breakfast time and have the replacement ready for afternoon coffee. Of course, as long as your boss doesn't ask to scan and clone himself to have a double attend the boring meetings. It seems the bottleneck won't be the technology anymore, but finding something that isn't already digitized.
