HandySCAN 3D sees the birth of innovative composite components

We will definitely continue to work with Creaform in the future. We firmly believe that the benefits of collaboration will come to the forefront when the relationship between buyer and seller takes to the next level. We will always need reliable technology for quality control of components, so the support of partners like Creaform is essential.
——Massimo Bercella, sales manager of Bercella

Bercella is an Italian company founded in 1996. Its main business areas are automotive, aerospace, defence and railways. Over the years, He has accumulated extensive experience in the production of lightweight composite and alloy structures for the aerospace, defense and automotive industries, constantly designing innovative solutions.

Bercella partnered with Carboni E Metalli, an innovative start-up based in The Parma region of Italy, to develop the Lunar Project——A motorcycle that combines Bercella's composite materials and additive metal products. The fuel tank, for example, is made from carbon fibre: it is a delicate and demanding process from design to mold conception to production of the final parts.

Every step from the beginning of the process is under the strictest control. Bercella adheres to the concept of "quality first", which means investing in quality control in the production process to avoid breakdowns or customer returns and product rework, thus saving time and money.

Thanks to HandySCAN 3D, a portable 3D scanner from Creaform, the model passed the high quality control requirements. They checked the dimensions and compared them to a 3D reference design by using a fast high definition "scan to CAD" file before being used for laminating the die. They then repeated the process for the mold and, eventually, the fuel tank. This workflow may seem long and complicated, but it actually saves time. In the production process of each component, ensure that every step is carried out in accordance with the "quality first" concept, making the work of all concerned easier.

Creaform's HandySCAN 3D scanner is ideal for quickly replicating all parts of a Lunar Project. As a result, the Bercella design team fully trusts HandySCAN 3D data and considers it an essential tool in everyday workflows.

Bercella uses HandySCAN 3D scanners and the VXelements software platform for data acquisition. HandySCAN 3D not only provides excellent performance in fast and reliable analysis of parts, but also ensures fast import of CAD programs.

Bercella also uses 3D optical scanners (blu-ray technology) and portable CMM. The two technologies can be used in conjunction with HandySCAN 3D or separately, depending on the specific requirements of each project (e.g., size of parts, required precision, different materials, etc.).

In recent years, Bercella has integrated existing solutions rather than replacing different systems and technologies. This leads to a more dynamic approach: even if most of the system is not available, there is always an alternate solution. Creaform is part of a solution that helps them better meet the highest demands of customers and companies in the market.

Why choose Creaform technology products?
The need for a fast, accurate tool to measure and control small and medium sized components led to the evaluation of various solutions: Of all the solutions, Creaform stood out as the ideal technology product for its reliability and ease of use.

Creaform technology products can save time and cost. Time savings are also reflected in delivery times. Keeping parts within the company rather than moving them to a partner company means more control over production because each time a part reenters the plant it is inspected, which takes time and affects logistics and system scheduling.

The use of Creaform's technical products has given Bercella a better reputation in two key divisions, control and production, enabling them to quickly identify defects or problems and thus better reduce all derivative risks.
