Step 1: Determine Intent How will this image be used? Do I anticipate any changes? What are your tolerance requirements? All these questions are paramount in determining the successful path of the data output and each are mutually exclusive of one another. Why do I care how it’s being used? After being in the 3D scanning service industry for over 18 years, I find significant value in this simple question. Here’s why. When approaching a project of any magnitude, the ideal goal is to find the cleanest, clearest path with an optimal desired result. Not knowing the intended output can send a service tech down [...]

The advancements in reverse engineering technology over the last 20 years have been amazing. Exact Metrology's reverse engineering expert Greg Groth answers paramount questions in determining the successful path of data output.

This technology can inspect the interior structure of injection molded, cast, forged or fabricated parts made from metal, plastic, polymers, composites and 3D printed products, without causing any harm or destruction to the objects themselves. And that’s only the beginning. The ability to “see through” a solid object was once thought to be a tool of the future, or a power belonging to Superman – but the technology is here today, and more widespread and accessible than you may have thought. Until recently, the technology of computed tomography (CT) imaging was only available for use in medical settings. But over the last several years, it has found [...]

Market Leader in 3D and CT Scanning Uses High Definition Tools to Design Replacement Piping in Power Plant Exact Metrology, a leading supplier of 3D laser and CT scanning equipment and services, recently used its new Leica HDS scanners on a piping project at a Nuclear Generating Station in Kansas. The project took 800 hours and involved scanning piping in 20 rooms and the entire main level of containment with four operators, according to Dean Solberg, Co-president and Founder of Exact Metrology. The project began when R. Brooks Associates brought in Exact Metrology to digitally map out several critical pipe runs and identify all high [...]
