3D Scanning Technology
Craig Crump, CEO, CGI
www.CGIinspection.com
If you perform first article inspection, failure analysis, reverse engineering or tooling qualification for small, complex, injection molded parts you should consider learning more about CGI's Cross-Sectional Scanning to augment your inspection tools and/or equipment. You will make better dimensional metrology decisions, supported by complete inspection data sets from CGI dense point clouds.
Cross-Sectional Scanning (CSS) is a patented, CGI 3D scanning process that goes far beyond the capabilities of inspection tools like CMMs (coordinate measuring machines), optical comparators, laser scanners and white light scanners. CGI's automated, labor-less process delivers dense point clouds that capture every part feature, including internal geometry.
