How FABTEK Vietnam Accelerated Performance with a Comprehensive 3D Inspection Solution from 3DS

To enhance productivity and ensure product quality, FABTEK Vietnam – a 100% Australian-owned enterprise specializing in metal fabrication for multiple industries – has taken a pioneering step by adopting advanced 3D inspection technologies. With the integration of the FreeScan UE 11 industrial 3D scanner and Geomagic software provided by 3D Smart Solutions, FABTEK has successfully streamlined its design workflow, accelerated production time, and achieved exceptional accuracy. This strategic investment not only meets the demanding quality standards of their clients but also strengthens FABTEK’s competitive edge in today’s modern manufacturing landscape.

How FABTEK Vietnam Accelerated Performance with a Comprehensive 3D Inspection Solution from 3DS

Challenges Faced by 3DS

When 3D Smart Solutions began working with FABTEK Vietnam, we faced a range of complex requirements that demanded both technical expertise and seamless execution:

  • High Accuracy & Performance Demands: FABTEK required 3D scanning data with exceptional precision to meet stringent metrology standards, especially for complex components made of steel, aluminum, and stainless steel.

  • Seamless Integration with Existing Workflow: With an established MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning) system in place, it was essential that the 3D inspection solution be integrated smoothly without disrupting production processes.

  • Workflow and Time Optimization: FABTEK handles both small-batch and large-scale orders. The 3D inspection process needed to deliver rapid and reliable results, enabling faster design validation and quality control without slowing down production.

  • Training & Technology Transfer: As FABTEK’s team had limited experience with 3D scanning and metrology software, 3DS developed a structured training roadmap to ensure the team could quickly master the equipment and apply it effectively in real-world manufacturing.

  • Clear Return on Investment (ROI): Beyond simply supplying technology, FABTEK expected the solution to drive real, measurable value – improving efficiency, reducing costs, and strengthening their competitive edge.

Despite these challenges, 3D Smart Solutions successfully implemented a comprehensive 3D scanning and inspection system using the FreeScan UE 11 scanner and Geomagic software. This enabled FABTEK to streamline its production workflow, enhance product quality, and operate more efficiently in a highly competitive manufacturing environment.

3D Smart Solutions' Approach

Recognizing the critical role of advanced technology in precision manufacturing, FABTEK Vietnam made a strategic decision to implement a comprehensive 3D technology solution provided by 3D Smart Solutions (3DS). This integrated system has significantly improved productivity and optimized processes in design, inspection, and quality control with exceptional accuracy:

  • FreeScan UE 11 – Industrial 3D Laser Scanner

Equipped with cutting-edge blue laser technology, the FreeScan UE 11 delivers high-precision scanning that meets international metrology standards. Its ergonomic design and premium hardware ensure maximum scanning flexibility, comfort, and efficiency.

The 3D data captured by the FreeScan UE 11 is highly accurate and fully compatible with major 3D design and inspection software, allowing FABTEK to streamline workflows, accelerate inspection, and strengthen quality assurance.

  • Geomagic Design X – Industry-Leading Reverse Engineering Software

Geomagic Design X enables fast and accurate conversion of 3D scan data into fully editable CAD models. With powerful processing capabilities, it reconstructs both simple and complex geometry (solid, surface, hybrid models) with ease.

A key advantage: the software allows direct transfer of parametric models—with full design history—into most mainstream CAD platforms, ensuring seamless integration into existing product development workflows.

  • Geomagic Control X – Comprehensive 3D Inspection Software

This advanced inspection solution offers a robust toolkit for dimensional analysis and quality control. With features like 2D/3D inspection, GD&T analysis, 3D color maps, and airfoil analysis, Geomagic Control X enables FABTEK to verify scanned parts against CAD designs with high precision and generate clear, visual inspection reports.

  • Structured Training for Seamless Technology Adoption

Beyond delivering hardware and software, 3D Smart Solutions provided practical, hands-on training tailored for FABTEK’s team. From equipment operation and data processing to applying software tools in design and inspection, 3DS experts ensured a smooth technology transfer. This helped FABTEK quickly master the solution and maximize its return on investment in everyday production.
