(Reporter 50, Apr 2004) The world-famous airplane, Junkers W33, has been measured with extreme 3D precision and modelled
using Leica's Axyz software. Leica Axyz is the world's only integrated, intelligent industrial 3D measuring
system, which measures industrial objects, on an electro-optical non contact basis. Under the supervision
of Professor Günther Stegner, Stefan Brüser undertook this work as part of his Engineering masters thesis,
which involved data acquisition for modelling. Approximately 3000 object points of the areoplane’s
outerskin were recorded, evaluated, and then realistically copied in a CAD system. The resulting model is
an 'extremely realistic' copy of the airplane. Originally built in Dresden, 198 planes still exist worldwide.
