Sarclad Rollscan

Sarclad’s Rollscan is a world-leading automated inspection system engineered to detect critical subsurface and surface defects in heavy industrial rolling mill rolls before catastrophic failures occur.

MeshViz designed, modeled, and animated a fully rendered 3D digital twin of the Rollscan inspection gantry, articulating sensor arrays, and real-time data-mapping systems.

By animating invisible physical processes—such as ultrasonic wave propagation and internal flaw detection—we created a powerful visual asset for Sarclad’s global marketing and technical sales teams.

1. Mechanical Gantry Rigging: Programmed precise motion paths for the gantry travel, roll rotation, and articulating sensor head positioning during active testing cycles.

2. Simulated NDT Data Overlays: Developed motion-tracked graphical overlays and volumetric heatmaps that demonstrate ultrasonic wave penetration and real-time flaw mapping.

3. Industrial PBR Texturing & Studio Lighting: Applied high-detail metallic shaders and cinematic studio lighting to highlight Sarclad’s heavy-engineering build quality.

4. Multi-Platform 4K Render Pipeline: Delivered native 4K video outputs optimized for both high-impact exhibition displays and fast web streaming.

The Rollscan 3D animation suite gives Sarclad an authoritative visual tool to present complex non-destructive testing capabilities to plant managers and quality control engineers globally.

By making subsurface defect detection visually explicit, the digital twin has significantly enhanced technical engagement during international sales pitches and trade expos.
