1888PressRelease - American Hydroformers Enhances Production Capabilities by Implementing a New 3D
Scanning and Probing Device Known as the Faro Edge Scan Arm HD.
Fort Wayne, IN - American Hydroformers (http://www.americanhydroformers.com/) recently obtains and
implements a new Faro Edge Scan Arm HD that enables enhanced product development, inspection, and
quality control. As a 3D scanning and probing device, the Faro Edge Scan Arm HD provides capabilities such
as rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, 3D modeling and rapid point cloud collection and comparison.
Ideal for scanning challenging materials, the Faro Edge Scan Arm HD also allows for contact and non-contact
measurements.
• Rapid Scanning Speed
• High Definition Data
• Up to 2,000 Points per Scan Line
• Fast Frame Rates
• Scan Challenging Materials
• Highly Accurate and Repeatable
• Contact & Non-Contact Measurements
Acquiring this new Faro Edge Scan Arm HD will allow American Hydroformers to probe virtually any part or
tube and collect all of the data needed to reproduce it. With up to 2,000 actual points per scan line, extreme
resolution and high accuracy, we are able to reproduce even the most intricate parts and components. The
actual setup of the scanning arm features an extra wide scan stripe as well as fast frame rates. This allows for
increased productivity with the large coverage area and the reducing scanning times.
Autoform Hydro Simulation
In addition to the Faro Edge Scan Arm HD, American Hydroformers in-house capabilities also include the
utilization of AutoForm Hydro simulation software as well as FEA simulations. Their team of engineers are
trained and regularly updated on this software which provides a comprehensive understanding and analysis
of the entire hydroforming process. By employing this software in-house and utilizing the simulation process,
American Hydroformers supplies its customers with rapid verification, shorter development time, and
improved process reliability.
• Easily Identify Forming Issues
• Rapid Tool Design
• Accurate Springback Simulation
• Quality & Cost Improvements
• Reduced Development Time
• Improved Reliability
• Lower Material & Production Costs
By enabling better price controls and reduced tooling expense, American Hydroformers provides a cost-
effective source for part production. Unlike other metal forming techniques, hydroforming allows for
increased part strength, lower part weight, and greater design flexibility, while also improving overall part
quality. Contact American Hydroformers to see how you can reduce your tooling and part costs.
About American Hydroformers
Founded in 2003, American Hydroformers specializes in the tube hydroforming manufacturing process.
Production capabilities include numerous metal forming techniques such as hydroforming, hydraulic press
work, metal stamping, and tube forming. In addition to hydroformed components, American Hydroformers
offers complete assembly level fabrication of automotive structures, robotic welding, and both industrial
laser and plasma cutting.
