Horse and Saddles 3D Modelling
Precision and efficiency are paramount in today's competitive manufacturing environment. Especially for companies that are into custom-fit products like saddles mapping and verification, there are several challenges to ensuring perfect alignment with design specifications. Traditional methods rely heavily on manual inspection, which is prone to errors. This can result in defects and misalignments. To some extent, it also delays in production. To address these issues, Tamar Software embarked on leveraging advanced technologies like 3-D data, computer vision, and machine learning, which can be beneficial to manufacture exact saddles for horses. It also reduces cost and improves product quality. In this case study, we will explore the transformative impact of 3-D data technology in saddle mapping and verification.

Problems Witnessed
Since traditional times, saddle manufacturing industries have struggled with fitting issues and component alignment. These problems clearly stem from discrepancies between actual saddle parts and design specifications, which often result in defective products. These issues also go unnoticed until the final production stage, which leads to costly rework, delays, and material waste of product. Additionally, the challenges also limit the ability of the industry to optimize product fit and respond to the demands of the market. As customer demands are constantly evolving and driven by customization and precision, the inability to meet design specifications in terms of exact measurement can hamper the competitiveness of any company.
