Precision is critical in manufacturing, especially in industries like automotive, pharmaceuticals and aerospace. While you may produce your parts according to models made with computer-aided design (CAD) software, you need confirmation that your production process led to accurate results. With part-to-CAD comparison from MicronPA, you can identify problems in your prototypes and early parts to make manufacturing changes.
What Is Part-to-CAD Comparison?
At MicronPA, we use computed tomography (CT) scanning to create a 3D model of a part. With this scan, we can begin CAD model validation by comparing the dimensions and specifications of your part to the initial CAD model of the product.
Our 3D models show extensive detail, making it possible to compare angles, lengths, hole locations and more.
Scan-to-CAD analysis is one of many ways to use a 3D model for an accuracy check.
Part-to-CAD Inspection Services Support Precision Manufacturing
One of the benefits of part-to-CAD deviation analysis is the ability to pick up on problems early in the manufacturing process. If we use our CT scans as part of a first article inspection or during the prototyping stage, you can catch production problems before you mass produce. With processes like best-fit alignment, we can account for complex shapes and measurements, giving you an exacting reading of your part.
Catching these problems early on can help you save money and improve the relationship you have with your customers. When you supply parts that meet a buyer’s precise specifications, they’ll come to you for future projects, and your operation will gain a good reputation.
Our complete mesh models yield a comprehensive view of parts development. With color mapping models, you can see distinct areas where a part lacked accuracy. We also offer easy-to-read reports. When you complete a scan-to-CAD analysis with MicronPA, you’ll have all the resources you need to make production changes for improved accuracy.
