Reverse Engineering Components for Perfect Fit & Function
We combine exceptional technologies like CT scanning and modeling and inspection softwares to re-create perfect fit and function components. For example, these gaskets were worn and cracked and the client was unable to find replacement parts. Scanning just the casting or gaskets alone would not be adequate.
Instead, we CT scanned all three components and virtually aligned them to ensure no critical design intent was missed.
Using Geomagic Design X’s silhouette cross sectioning feature allows us to model these gaskets using the full profile of a line even though the gaskets aren’t perfectly flat. We then use the center points of the casting to ensure bolts pass through with no interference. Then, we extrude the design cross section to the exact width of the gaskets.
