3D Imaging for Metal Die Inspection

Robotic 3D laser profiling for tooling metrology

3D laser profiling of a metal stamping die surface

The challenge

A manufacturer of metal stamping dies needed a non-contact method to measure die surfaces for wear and dimensional accuracy. Manual measurement was slow and could not capture the full die surface, leading to undetected wear patterns.

Our solution

We implemented a robotic 3D laser profiling system that scans the entire die surface at high resolution. Custom analysis software compares each scan against the CAD reference model, automatically identifying wear patterns, dimensional deviations, and surface anomalies.

Results

  • Full-surface non-contact measurement of complex die geometry
  • Automated comparison against CAD reference models
  • Early detection of wear patterns before they impact production
  • Significant reduction in manual measurement time
