Impellers damaged beyond repair? Not for Amboretto Americas 😎 How our customer gained a 4️⃣ 0️⃣ % cost saving and fast turn around through our expertise in rapid .
The damaged impeller and shaft were removed from the casing and shipped to Amboretto’s facility in Austin. Once there, the local engineering team set about collecting all the data needed to recreate the part. Using a combination of laser scanning technology and conventional measurements, the team collected digital and dimensional inspection data to build a complete 3D representation of the impeller.
While the experts were working on the geometry, their colleagues were continuing their own work to reverse-engineer the component. They used x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis to establish the exact chemical composition of the impeller. That allowed Amboretto to source the same alloy in order to manufacture the replacement. Finally, the team used zebra analysis to determine the surface continuity quality in the 3D model that would affect the surface finish required for the new part during the machining process
