From 3D LiDAR Scanning to SolidWorks Design – Engineering Mineral Processing Plant Upgrades

Image
Improving Chute, Conveyor and Equipment Replacement Through Digital Engineering Mineral processing plants depend on reliable conveyors, transfer chutes, crushers, screens and mechanical handling systems to maintain production. However, modifying existing mining infrastructure can be challenging when equipment has been altered over time, engineering drawings are outdated or shutdown periods are limited. For mechanical engineers working with SolidWorks, one of the most important considerations is ensuring that proposed equipment modifications accurately reflect existing plant conditions. This is where 3D LiDAR scanning, point cloud processing and SolidWorks mechanical design can work together to support more reliable engineering outcomes. Hamilton By Design combines these capabilities to assist mining and mineral processing facilities with plant modifications, equipment replacement and shutdown engineering.
