Shape Analysis Case Study

From Analysis to Manufacturing: Converting an Image to Numerical Data

X-ray CT can be used for non-destructive, non-contact internal observation and measurement of precise internal dimensions, enabling shape evaluation, dimension evaluation, and measurement of reverse engineering data.

Shape Evaluation

Shape evaluation allows you to easily compare designs with actual data by superimposing and comparing CAD data or CAE analysis results with actual parts.

Dimension Evaluation

Dimension evaluation allows you to measure internal dimensions that cannot be measured with contact-type precision dimensional measurement systems.

Various types of evaluation, such as roundness evaluation, are also possible.

Reverse Engineering

Shape data can also be output from precision dimensional measurement data for use in CAD/CAE.

In addition to observing and evaluating captured data, the data can be applied to dimensions for 3D evaluation, leading to further designs.
