Abstract

This work aims to develop and validate a solution for quality control in the automotive industry while taking full advantage of the technological factors provided by the equipment used. It deals with researching and applying a three-dimensions (3D) scanner in product quality monitoring tasks of a door panel manufacturing process. Pilot studies were carried out to assess the real capabilities of the equipment and determine problems that could arise when scaling the process for a real production of car door panels. The implementation and final results are also described in this work, showing that it is possible to develop a flexible equipment with multiple applications and apply it in the automotive industry.
