3D Scanning Provides New Opportunities
Digital services:
With the help of a new 3D camera with an integrated laser meter, Mantena can create accurate virtual models of train equipment and workshop facilities.
Mantena has now adopted 3D scanning to inspect damage and verify the quality of repairs on railway equipment.
This is an extremely useful tool that offers great opportunities for partners, which Mantena has also used to make a beloved vintage locomotive even more accessible.
Every summer since 1962, visitors to the Norwegian Railway Museum in Hamar have been able to ride the steam locomotive Tertitten. The train ride with the 1895 locomotive has rightfully become the museum's most popular attraction – and Mantena's maintenance has helped keep the train running.
Using the new specialized cameras, Mantena has now created a digital 3D model that allows you to board and explore the locomotive and carriages from a bygone era. It's almost as if you can smell the oil and steam!
The future of digitalized train services applied to a 130-year-old steam locomotive is primarily for enjoyment and entertainment. But imagine the great benefit this tool will provide when used to optimize the maintenance of the trains that bring people to and from work and school every day!
