Excavator Bucket Refurbishment
Project Scope
- Phase 1: Separate the scope bucket from the scan setup using Cyclone 3D
Software - Phase 2: Create planes and coordinate points in the bucket using 3DR
Software - Phase 3: Import the .stl file from 3DR, create the skeleton from the scan,
and develop the model per engineering requirements
Business Challenges
- Complex modelling and precise separation of the scope model from the
setup file - Difficulty in creating accurate planes and coordinate points in 3DR Software
- Need to create templates to reference and cut the existing bucket
ARi’s Solutions
- Provided suggestions to engineers to reduce machining and welding costs,
improving welding feasibility - Recommended reusable parts to minimize additional production of the
same parts, promoting cost savings - Developed custom templates for precise cutting and referencing of the
existing bucket structure - Utilized advanced 3D scanning and modelling techniques to ensure an
accurate and durable refurbishment design - Ensured that the refurbishing process adhered to all engineering
requirements and specifications
ARi’s Value Proposition
- Reduced refurbishment cost 30% and downtime through reusable part
integration and optimized cutting templates - Improved accuracy and durability of the refurbished bucket using precise
3D scan-based modelling - Minimized material waste 25% while extending bucket lifespan through
targeted reinforcement - Enabled faster turnaround by streamlining the process with accurate digital
workflows
