A Fast and Precise Solution to AATG’s Challenging Measurement Problem with +90 3D Digital Factory
With its longstanding experience in thedefense and aerospace industries, AATGHolding contributes to the national defensesector through advanced technology solutionsdeveloped in fields such as artificial intelligence,robotics, command and control systems,and digital twin technologies.
Through its TS Tech (Terrain Systems Technologies)brand, AATG designs ultra-lighttactical wheeled vehicles (UTVs) that can be operated both manned and unmanned.Expanding its product range with four different models featuring various loadcapacities, the company encountered a significant measurement challenge duringthe modernization process of this innovative vehicle family. Due to the complexsurface geometries and hard-to-reach areas, conventional measurement methodsfailed to deliver the required level of precision. Measurements taken with traditionalinstruments such as calipers and micrometers were both time-consuming and susceptibleto human error. This, in turn, caused delays in design validation and optimizationprocesses, leading to increased costs during production.
At this point, +90 3D Digital Factory stepped in to meet AATG’s needs using themost advanced technologies. The ZEISS T-Scan Hawk2 3D scanner digitized thecomplex geometries of the UTV with high precision and speed. The scanningprocess was completed within just one day.
Thanks to the implemented solution:
• Complex surface details were completely transferred into the digital environment.
• The acquired data was directly integrated into the design process, enabling early detection of potential errors.
• The development process was significantly accelerated.
• The number of physical prototypes, and consequently the associated costs, were reduced.
• Optimization studies were planned more efficiently and effectively.
Thanks to +90 3D Digital Factory’s advanced 3D scanning technology services and expertise, AATG achieved significant time and cost advantages during the modernization process of the UTV. At the same time, noticeable improvements were achieved in product quality and performance. This collaboration brought together AATG’s innovative engineering approach and +90 3D Digital Factory’s digital manufacturing expertise, turning it into an
exemplary success story that advances the technological capabilities of the national defense industry.
