CT SCANNING IMPLANT SCREWS FOR INSPECTION & REVERSE ENGINEERING
Microfocus CT scanning is used to produce high resolution, water tight scan files of implant screws for a variety of reasons including:
- Non-destructive evaluation – ensuring products are free of contaminants and flaws like cracks
- Dimensional evaluation – ensuring products meet design specifications like profile and concentricity
- Reverse engineering – manufacturers may need accurate models of products to design their own geometry
CT SCANNING FOR REVERSE ENGINEERING
The sample to the left has been reverse engineered to a toolable .STEP model. The screw was CT scanned, exported to .STL, and then modeled in Geomagic Design X.
