Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division announced a strategic collaboration with JDC-Miller MotorSports, a Minnesota-based racing team renowned for competing in various IMSA series with vehicles from Porsche, Audi, Oreca, Duqueine, and more. This partnership will push the boundaries of precision and performance in motorsports engineering for the 2025 IMSA racing season.
JDC-Miller MotorSports, known for using the state-of-the-art Porsche Hybrid 963 GTP race car in IMSA’s top-tier Prototype class, will utilize Hexagon’s cutting-edge metrology devices to fine-tune the Porsche 963 ahead of races. This collaboration highlights the critical role of metrology technology in maintaining a competitive edge in motorsports, where every detail can determine victory or a loss.
Advancing Precision with Hexagon’s Metrology Technology
At the center of this collaboration is Hexagon’s advanced metrology solutions, including its patented MARVELSCAN scanning device, which will enable JDC-Miller MotorSports to generate highly accurate 3D scans of vehicles before each race, ensuring they are consistently in compliance.
Benefits and key features of the MARVELSCAN include:
- Advanced Technology for Precise Scanning: Features like Hole Flash Capture, edge detection, and photogrammetry enable MARVELSCAN to handle complex geometries with incredible accuracy, with less cleanup required before processing.
- Scan Large Parts Faster Without Targets: MARVELSCAN raises the bar for 3D scanning productivity, as its unique built-in photogrammetry delivers targetless scanning functionality. This enables full vehicle measurements without the need to place targets or stickers on the vehicle, saving significant time while enhancing scanning accuracy.
- Streamlined Processes: High-speed data capture reduces technical inspection time and minimizes post-processing, enabling faster compliance and enhanced efficiency.
- Flexibility to Diverse Surface Types: Designed to perform on reflective, glossy, or dark surfaces like car finishes, MARVELSCAN ensures reliable performance in challenging inspection environments.
- Portable and Versatile Design: Lightweight and compact, MARVELSCAN is tailored for industries like motorsports, offering unparalleled flexibility and ease of use.
MARVELSCAN will be used alongside other metrology technologies, including the Hexagon Absolute Arm, a Portable Coordinate Measurement Machine (PCMM) known for its best-in-class accuracy and compliance with recognized ISO standards. All of Hexagon’s devices and technologies are designed to work seamlessly in concert within the same ecosystem, helping to eliminate silos and improve ease of data sharing. This enables JDC-Miller MotorSports to effortlessly expand and adopt additional technology as their challenges and priorities evolve.
