Industrial mechanical 3D model. Study of the remaining deformation due to thermal expansion in industrial hopper

Abstract

The objective of this work is the study of the remaining deformation of a hopper industrial using synoptic measurement technology, fast, accurate and, as important, that allows us to model the element in question at a certain moment of its useful life. To assess what is the current situation of this industrial hopper, what deformations it presents and what useful life that element can have with the situation it presents and its deterioration throughout this time. The advantage of using imaging techniques as 3D laser scanning over other methods allow us to take a large number of points with high accuracy in a period of relatively short time, which reduces the cost in working hours and allows to offer a high demand service.
