Reverse Engineering
Spatial Ops collaborated with skate park restoration specialist Ian Davidson to laser scan two concrete coping segments for the edge of an existing skate bowl in Brisbane. Creating a smooth, continuous surface can be challenging, as each piece is unique in shape. Traditionally, this would require the painstaking process of manual production. We deployed the laser scanner to generate a point cloud with sub-millimetre accuracy of the segments requiring replacement. This captured comprehensive data for an exact replication of the damaged pieces.
The 2D Revit drawings extracted from the scan were then sent to LSC Shopfitting as a blueprint to fabricate two-piece rubber moulds. High strength concrete was poured into the moulds to recreate the two coping pieces.
Not only was the accuracy improved, but also the time and cost efficiency of reverse engineering the measurement of an existing built-in component for the client. This process presents enormous opportunity for prototype simulation.
