Applied Technical Services offers CT 3D scanning for reverse engineering applications. These technically advanced scans or X-ray inspections provide an efficient way to obtain measurements and build an accurate CAD model for industrial components, equipment, and/or parts. Computed Tomography (CT) inspections are usually preferred by clients needing both internal and external measurements due to the methods’ cost-effectiveness and efficiency advantages over CMM Laser Scans. Three-dimensional CT scans have numerous applications in Reverse Engineering practices, as they can be utilized in redesigning flawed products, replacing lost CAD files, and developing drawings for legacy components.
