The repair of collision accident vehicle is no longer a simple car sheet metal beating, the quality of repair is not good, but only by the naked eye to observe the appearance of the vehicle gap, maintenance personnel not only need to understand the technical parameters and dimensions of the body, but also need to master the body material characteristics, stress characteristics, transfer the body deformation trend and stress point, as well as the body production process. Such as welding process and so on. On the basis of mastering these knowledge, the maintenance personnel should also use advanced measuring tools to judge the direct and indirect damage and deformation of the body through accurate three-dimensional measurement of the body, formulate a complete body repair scheme, and cooperate with the correct body repair scheme to restore the key points of the body to the original position.
