Mobile AR app can be used to perform quality control on automotive repairs.
A project between Swinburne University of Technology and Australian software, robotics and automated applications company Tradiebot Industries aims to shake up the automotive collision repair industry using 3D printing and augmented reality (AR).
The collaboration, with co-investment from the Innovative Manufacturing CRC (IMCRC) , sees the application of a new in-house formulated polypropylene composite material, developed by Swinburne materials scientists, for the manufacture of replacement plastic bumper bar taps and headlight lugs. In addition, a mobile app is being developed by Tradiebot to enable collision repair technicians to perform quality control on repairs by overlaying an original CAD file via a smart phone, tablet or smart glasses. Users will be able to scan broken plastic parts to generate a replacement or select from a library of pre-designed, 3D printable parts. Mario Dimovski, CEO of Tradiebot said: […]
