3D Inspection Systems and Services
Cross-Sectional Scanning (CSS), available only from CGI®, is a 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. The automated, labor-less process delivers dense point clouds that capture every feature, including internal geometry.
Unique Metrology Solution for First Article Inspection and More
Companies performing first article inspection, failure analysis, reverse engineering or tooling qualification for small, complex, injection molded parts are augmenting, and often replacing, traditional inspection tools with Cross-Sectional Scanning. The reason: better dimensional metrology decisions supported by complete inspection data sets from ultra-dense point clouds.
The Cross-Sectional Scanning Difference
Inspection plans, fixturing, programming and measuring; it takes a lot of time to get inspection data from a CMM . . . too much effort and measurement uncertainty to collect a few pre-defined data points. Cross-Sectional Scanning eliminates these tedious tasks and gives you millions of reference points from both the outside and inside of the part.
Unlike laser and white light scanning technologies, Cross-Sectional Scanning captures sharp corners, deep pockets and internal geometry in a single scan. It also eliminates the time consuming effort of assembling and cleaning the data to get ready for inspection or design.
See More; Do it Faster
Whatever you call it—digitizing, 3D scanning or 3D imaging—Cross-Sectional Scanning is a revolutionary tool that does what others can't. Control your quality; expedite dimensional inspection; make the right decision with all the information.
