40°C on-site: When 3D scanning defies extreme conditions!


Even in stifling heat (40°C outside and an overheated production hall inside), scanning doesn’t stop. Our teams were recently at the Papeterie Le Bourray mill near Le Mans, France, to scan a machine for MECABRIDE.

In these demanding conditions, modern measurement technology fully proved its added value:

  • Maximum time savings: 3D scanning kept on-site time to an absolute minimum, with the operator only needing to manually record the most critical control measurements.
  • Absolute precision: This process saves time and creates a highly accurate foundation for subsequent design and production phases.
  • Team success: A big shout-out to Simon Fickers and Patrick Drömmer for the great teamwork on-site.

The captured data is now heading to the Nevsky.be office for processing. Capturing reality isn’t just about technology—it’s about adapting to the toughest environments to deliver high-quality data no matter what!
