High Resolution Internal Geometry Capture
Simpact have made extensive use of Micro CT scanning as it enables the high resolution capture of the complete 3D volume of an object. We use the Nikon Metrology XT H 320 LC at the University of Warwick for the non-destructive discretisation of relatively small objects and the dimensional inspection of internal features.
The system projects a number of X-ray images through the object using a source of up to 320KV and reconstructs a 3D model composed of voxels. The system is designed to scan relatively small objects (250x250x600mm) at a resolution from 5 to 120 µm. Output can be processed into STL data which is useful for our modelling activities.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
The Micro CT scanner is the subject of several joint publications where we have successfully developed a technique to characterise bullets in 3D. This has been key to the accuracy of our modelling activities in the area of defence as it has enabled us to use the actual bullet geometry instead of nominal dimensions described in the standards.
