2020 Jeep Gladiator Exhaust

Prototyping of the 2020 Jeep Gladiator exhaust has begun at Banks. However, this time we’re starting the project with the help of some new tech. This will help speed up development while assisting with making the best-fitting product possible. With our 3D scanner from Creaform, an engineer can effectively scan a part or portion of a vehicle quickly and efficiently.

We can take an object and use a handheld device that looks like a grocery store scanner to scan it. Once scanned, a digital model is made. This works wonders when designing parts that need to conform to a specific size. Allowing us to know the size of the area we have to work with, or capturing the dimensions of one-off prototypes for the transition to a CAD model. When all is said and done you can have a complete digital model. You can use it to virtually fit into an area and prepare for production.

Adhesive dots are placed along the surface of the object that is to be scanned. This makes it so that the gun’s lasers have reference points and better map the object or area. The gun uses blue laser technology for higher resolution and higher quality data collection, including depth of field, and features an array of 11 laser scan lines that crisscross for 22 scanning lines at one time for scanning larger areas. The device’s scans have an accuracy of 0.025 mm (or 0.0009 in).

We’re looking forward to putting this tool through its paces. Keep your eyes open for that new 2020 Jeep Gladiator exhaust!
