By Jesse Garant Metrology Center
Part Inspection Lab We help companies thoroughly investigate parts & assemblies with our high quality metrology CT scanning services paired with expert analytical support. PHASE ONE ### CONSULTATION After the initial inquiry, our services begin by having an in-depth discussion with the inquiring individual and interested parties. If the fit is right for our metrology CT scanning services, the feasibility review considers part/assembly type, material, regions of interest, and the objective for the CT scan. PHASE THREE ### ANALYSIS Depending on the CT Scanning project, we analyze the reconstructed (3D imaging) results for either material or geometry based output requirements. Material reporting is based upon internal density variations or percent volume changes. These types of CT Scanning analysis include: - Visualizing virtual cross-sectional slices - Porosity / Inclusion Analysis (Color coded voids, inclusions, and micro pores by volumetric size or percentage) - Enhanced Porosity (Automotive Industry Specific, P201 – 50097, P202 – 50098, P203 Analysis) - Fiber Analysis (Color coded fiber directional reporting) Geometry reporting is based upon measurement variations or dimensioning requirements. These types of Metrology CT Scanning analysis include: - Part to CAD / Part Comparison (Color coded variations from nominal or another identical part. Alignment by: RPS, 3-2-1 alignment, best fit, sequential) - Wall Thickness Analysis (Color-coded results identifying insufficient or excessive wall thicknes) - First Article Inspection (Tolerancing based upon part print dimensions) - Enhanced FAI (AS9102 Form 3 Reporting) - Reverse Engineering (Generation of a STL file with internal & external part geometry) PHASE FOUR ### REVIEW As all NDT & Metrology CT Scanning projects are unique, each project is finalized between our lab and the customers key decision makers over a results web conference. If required, output deliverables can vary between picture files, excel files, presentations, 3D imaging / CT dataset viewing software, or in some cases STL files.
