Final Thesis: Entwicklung eines praktischen Ende-zu-Ende-Systems zur 3D-Unterstützung in Service-Wartungsdokumentation im Bereich der Fahrzeugdiagnose

Abstract: The maintenance and diagnosis of modern vehicles is made considerably more difficult by the increasing system complexity and variety of variants. Technical documentation and software-supported workshop testers are used to support workshop personnel. Three-dimensional representations can make an important contribution here by improving the understanding of spatial relationships and facilitating the localisation of components. As part of this work, an integrated system for integrating interactive 3D visualisations into existing vehicle documentation and workshop applications was developed. It comprises three main components: a user-guided, modular data
preparation pipeline, a versatile, configurable 3D viewer component and a documentation viewer for displaying PDF documents with embed-ded 3D scenes. The CAD design data is processed automatically and linked to existing
documents via a stable reference mechanism. The system nearly fulfils all the defined requirements, and the
evaluation shows a high level of practical suitability in terms of visualisation quality and flexibility. There is potential for optimisation above all in user guidance and support. Overall, the solution offers a reliable basis for productive use in the environment of vehicle component manufacturers and workshops.
