Product Details Supplier Info More products

NVision’s Engineering Service Division is now offering industrial computed tomography (CT) scanning for the reverse engineering and full inspection of components.

Industrial CT scanning is a process that utilises X-ray equipment to produce 3D representations of both internal and external components.

Steve Kersen, NVision’s vice-president of sales and marketing, said: ‘CT scanning is typically utilised when a customer’s requirements exceed the capabilities of laser scanning.

‘For example, it’s extremely useful for accurately modelling or inspecting the internal geometry of transparent materials, which would be obscured for laser scanners, or for detecting hidden flaws in plastic mouldings and castings,’ he added.

The best results from CT scanning can be achieved on non-metallic components fitting within an envelope of 150mm in diameter.

Metallic and larger items can be CT scanned, but the resolution and accuracy decrease.

The output received from the CT scanner is a stereo lithography (STL) format file, which is opened in specialised software for inspection against a computer-aided-design (CAD) file or used to create a CAD file in the customer’s required native format.

NVision is currently employing CT scanning on a number of projects for customers, such as small medical components, electronic and fibre-optic connectors and ceramic components.
