OR3D offers CT scanning services to clients across the UK. CT (Computed Tomography) is the collection of 2D X-Ray slices that are combined to provide a complete 3D dataset. The CT scanner allows the collection of extremely accurate and high resolution (0.25 micron) scan data. This enables the inspection and reverse engineering of very small and highly detailed components or components where surface scanning technologies cannot capture geometry.
This computed tomography scan technique uses X-Ray technology enabling NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) of part assembles or multi material components. Additional analysis such as porosity checks within castings or plastic injected mouldings offer additional insight.
To find out more about how computed tomography can improve your company’s inspection processes or you think that CT scanning may solve a problem you have, then please contact us or please reach out to our team using the online form below. We will respond as soon as possible.
Post Processing
OR3D CT can deliver the results and solutions of the scans in various formats, such as 2D images, 3D images, videos, animations, reports, and certificates. OR3D CT can also provide post-processing and analysis services, such as segmentation, meshing, surface extraction, foam structure analysis, porosity analysis, defect analysis, wall thickness analysis, deviation analysis, and many more.

A porosity is usually an air gap or bubble within a part. Porosities are often unwanted and found commonly in injection moulded or cast parts. A porosity can often be seen as a dark area on a CT scanner slice.
A nominal actual comparison, sometimes referred to as a 3D compare, is a use of computed tomography scan showing and analysing the differences between a reference and a measured object.
A foam structure analysis computed tomography scanner is used to better understand and visualise a foam like structure. It can be used to analyse the cell shape, size and distribution as well as the struts which separate the cells.
Segmentation is the process of virtually separating different parts or materials from a CT (computed tomography) scan, using online applications and specialised software.
After an accurate surface has been determined, it is possible to calculate the localised wall thickness on part, using computed tomography. A wall thickness can be calculated on mesh and volume objects.
Digital radiography (DR), is a fast and efficient way to produce high-quality 2D images of objects.
