How GK Forge Eliminated Production Errors with the eviXscan 3D Scanner: A Case Study
The Challenge: When Traditional Precision Isn’t Enough
With over 30 years of experience, GK Forge is a leader in producing drop and free forgings for the most demanding industries, including automotive, construction, and heavy machinery. In a world where every micrometer counts, the company faced a critical challenge. Traditional, manual measurement methods for complex forging dies were not only time-consuming but, more importantly, prone to inaccuracies. Any error at this stage could lead to costly mistakes in further production and, worst of all, complaints from key customers.
The Solution: A Technological Leap in Quality Control
In search of a solution that would guarantee absolute precision and optimize their processes, GK Forge turned to 3D scanning technology. The choice was the eviXscan 3D Quadro+ scanner, combined with eviXscan 3D Suite and Geomagic Control X software. The implementation of this comprehensive system marked a turning point for the company’s quality control department.
The Transformation: Measurable Benefits and New Opportunities
The implementation of the 3D scanner brought immediate and measurable results that went far beyond initial expectations.
A Revolution in Die Quality Control Scanning became the first and most crucial step in the production process. Instead of relying on imperfect manual measurements, GK Forge gained the ability to instantly create digital twins of their dies with the highest accuracy. The result? A drastic reduction in production errors and a drop in customer complaints to virtually zero.
Support for Maintenance and Machine Repair The scanner’s versatility quickly found new applications. The maintenance department now uses the Quadro+ to scan damaged or worn machine parts. Regardless of the element’s size or weight, a precise 3D model can be created for quick repairs or reverse engineering, which minimizes production downtime.
Digital Archive and CAD Documentation Every scan performed feeds a digital database of die measurements. This invaluable archive is used to analyze wear and tear, instantly resolve any customer inquiries, and support further research and development to improve their products.
Efficiency Confirmed by the R&D Department The value of the investment was officially confirmed by GK Forge’s R&D department. An internal analysis showed not only a significant reduction in the time required for die dimensioning but also a clear and rapid return on investment (ROI) thanks to the elimination of costly errors.
