Reverse engineering of Kaplan turbine blades

Due to the erosion and corrosion wear of the old blades, the customer decided to replace them. For this purpose, we made a number of 3D laser measurements and scans to redesign the casting as well as the finished machining.

The individual stages are presented in the diagram:

In the same way, the steering vanes were recreated.
