The rapid and detailed scanning of metals is not new, however taking this technology into the field and away from highly controlled labs could help protect the integrity of everything from aeroplanes to military vehicles. Scientists from griffith University on the Gold Coast have refined a system involving high-resolution 3D scanning of moving metal assets in which a tiny changes could indicate metal fatigue or interference. And it’s all thanks to biomechanics.
One of the essential techniques of biomechanics is the regular scanning of the human body to pick up small changes that point to future injuries. Now two Griffith University researchers are applying the same 3D reality capture techniques to machines to improve the safety, endurance and resilience of vehicles.
In sport, biomechanics has been attaching omni-directional scanning points to athletes and invalids alike to scan and measure not only the state of the persons bones, muscles and tendons, but how
