Due to the tremendous quality and efficiency benefits associated with the use of industrial computed tomography (CT) for non-destructive failure and structure analysis and 3D metrology for measurement of internal part geometries, demand for the technology is quickly growing.

Typical functions might include 3D analysis of a scanned turbine blade… automatic pour porosity volume analysis on an aluminum casting…3D measurements with nominal-actual CAD comparison on a machined aluminum cylinder head.

The SEMA Show which ran November 4 – 7 in Las Vegas drew over 60,000 Individuals employed in the automotive aftermarket industry.

Exact Metrology shared a booth with NDI (Northern Digital Inc.) at the IMTS Trade Show at McCormick Place in Chicago in early September.

On Wednesday, June 18, Exact Metrology held an Open House at its Brookfield, Wisconsin office to highlight PolyWorks 2014—InnovMetric’s universal 3D metrology software platform.

We just took delivery on a brand new NDI Pro CMM 3500. Replacing its predecessor, the Pro CMM 3500 still has the same high-accuracy performance when it comes to reverse engineering, part-to-CAD inspection, and door, closure and structural testing.

When it comes to building restoration and stone reproduction, Custom Stone Works of Cortland, IL knows their stuff. And when they contacted us to help with the reconstruction of a Navy Medallion, we were more than happy to help.

Tyler Keillor has been preparing fossils, creating skeletal reconstructions, and sculpting flesh models of prehistoric life at the University of Chicago since 2001. As a Paleoartist, he’s become known for the paleontological reconstructions he’s completed for The Discovery Channel.

When Fermilab shut down its Tevatron back in 2011, many wondered just what the future held for the revered Chicago-area physics lab. Long known for its particle accelerator, four-miles in circumference and able to accelerate beams of protons and antiprotons to 99.999954% of the speed of light.

Originally created for medical applications, CT, which is short for computed tomography, captures two-dimensional x-ray scans to generate three-dimensional images. Recently introduced into the industrial sector for use as a measuring tool, CT allows high-resolution, detailed volume measurement.

At Exact Metrology, we’re fortunate to work on exciting scanning projects almost every day. No scan has been more rewarding, though, than our recent opportunity to volunteer our skills toward making 9-year-old Tieshawn’s life a little easier.

{th:Cms_content:get_canonical_link id='8'}Exact Metrology has added a Leica Geosystems ScanStation p20 Laser Scanner to its line-up of portable metrology equipment. The ScanStation p20 is an ultra-high speed, high accuracy, long-range scanner ideal for capturing High-Definition Survey™ data.

While the boom of laser technology has you regularly interacting with lasers, be it while ringing up your groceries or playing music from CDs, one use you may not have yet considered is using laser technology for your reverse engineering projects.
