ArcelorMittal Mines Canada, the world's largest steel producer, uses the NScan Premium Digitizing System.
The company was ranked 123 in the 2017 Fortune Global 500 ranking of the world's biggest corporations.
The NScan System is currently being used at the Welding and Machining Department by the engineering design team. The automated system is replacing a CNC cutter table pen digitizer and the main goal of the company is to increase productivity.
Before acquiring the NScan, every time the engineers needed to digitize a pattern they had to send it to the Graphic designer or manually retrace it with the CNC pen. With the NScan system ArcelorMittal can just scan their cardboard, metal and paper patterns and in second have a digital vector and picture of their templates.
Since after digitizing the engineering team normally send the digitized files directly to the cutter, the NScan basic CAD tools are also being used for simple pattern modification. Instead of adjusting the 2D templates manually or opening it on a CAD to edit it, the engineers can now digitize, edit and save the files as a DXF in one single environment - the NScan.
