  • CBS's CAV/CAI process utilizes photogrametry. In our case, this is a scanner composed of:
    • Computer
    • Camera
    • Light array
    • Datum targets
    • Lens pair (set)
The process is not intimidated by complexity of geometry.  The process is "light-based" so reflective parts are "dusted" prior to scanning. Imageware Surfacer/Verdict is used to process point clouds.
    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Physical Model

  • First-Shot Plastics
  • Rapid Prototypes (SLA, SLS, LOM)
  • Short-Run Production Parts
  • "Out-of-the-Field" Parts
  • Comparison: Assembled-state vs. Free-state
  • Incoming Quality Control

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Point Cloud

  1. Scanning physical model yields point cloud
  2. Pre-processing: Point cloud data collection can be "tuned" up to 10e6 points.
  3. Post-processing: Data sparsing, Xsec, etc...
  4. Accuracy on order of .001" for 18" cube
