This case study describes how a coal producer used portable 3D laser scanner to capture the geometry of a coal shuttle car for reverse engineering as there is no design drawing available. The company aimed to replace worn-out vehicles and manufacturing new machines for more mining operations. The engineer scanned the top and bottom of the chassis using a handheld scanner KSCAN-Magic and ensured the high-precision results with its built-in photogrammetry. The scanning process resulted in a high-quality 3D model of the coal shuttle car.
