As a plastics manufacturer with around 70 production shifts a week and customers in everything from electronics and wind turbines to signs, measuring instruments and lighting, C.K. Produktion works in a market with high demands for flexibility, traceability and documentation.

Many items are produced in small series, often with short durations, and precision must be top notch - even when the geometries are complex.

In the past, quality was checked manually using traditional measuring methods. But this created variation because the results could depend on who was measuring and how.

This was not sustainable in a reality where customers increasingly demand traceability and visual documentation.

One customer in particular set the bar high and demanded 3D scanning as a regular part of production control. This was the starting point for rethinking the measurement process.

For C.K. Produktion, it was also an opportunity to strengthen their position as a quality-conscious supplier and meet future requirements for documentation and data-driven quality control.

The solution was an ATOS ScanBox 4105 together with an ATOS Q: A fully automatic measuring system from Carl Zeiss GOM Metrology, supplied and implemented by Zebicon. The combination makes it possible to scan items quickly, accurately and without manual intervention.

After implementing 3D scanning technology, C.K. Produktion has achieved:

- Guaranteed reliable and consistent measurements - independent of operator
- Faster and more visual approval of parts
- Stronger customer dialog based on concrete data
- Possibility of reverse engineering and internal product development
- Increased process reliability and fewer doubts
- Increased ability to meet stricter documentation requirements
- Potential for knowledge sharing within the group

With 3D scanning, C.K. Produktion has raised the level of documentation and quality control. Measurements are no longer dependent on the human factor, and the visual insights make it easy for customers to see how a part differs from the original CAD model.
