How 3D Scanning Is Rebuilding an Iconic RS500 | Vision148 Digital Engineering

How do you digitally rebuild an iconic car like the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500? In this video, Adam Stanley from The 3D Measurement Company (T3DMC) speaks with Keith Tsang, PolyWorks Technical Lead, about how advanced 3D scanning and metrology software are being used to create a complete digital dataset for the Vision148 restomod RS500 project. Filmed at Coventry Metal Craft, the team demonstrates how high-precision scanning technology and PolyWorks® metrology software are used together with the Scanology TrackScan Sharp-S optical 3D scanning system and probe to capture accurate measurements of the vehicle and build a detailed digital model. The TrackScan Sharp-S system, designed for large-volume, high-precision measurement, enables engineers to capture detailed scan data across the vehicle chassis while also probing key reference features such as mounting points and holes. The system supports high-speed scanning with up to 4.86 million measurements per second, delivering highly accurate digital datasets suitable for engineering and inspection workflows. Combined with PolyWorks software, the scan data and probe measurements can be aligned instantly, allowing engineers to analyse geometry, generate reference planes, export features into CAD workflows, and build a complete digital foundation for the vehicle. This digital workflow makes it possible to: • Capture high-resolution 3D scan data of the vehicle • Combine scan and probe measurements for precise engineering analysis • Generate cross-sections and features for CAD modelling • Build a complete digital dataset for restoration, engineering, and future development By combining traditional coachbuilding craftsmanship with modern digital engineering, the Vision148 project demonstrates how advanced metrology tools can support the restoration and re-engineering of one of the most iconic performance cars ever produced.
