Join us for this webinar on Wednesday, May 20th, where we'll be looking at methods for identifying part defacts using Simpleware software.

We'll look at an example of working with a machined simple hole plate (usually used for CT calibration) to focus on tools useful for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and the production of manufactured parts. We will show automated tools for segmentation and correction, as well as surface deviation, shape fitting and measurement tools.

Abstract:

Geometric incompatibilities are ubiquitous in natural structures and are recently being exploited in synthetic

structures to enhance the performance of soft systems. In this work we focus on infinitely long bi-layer

neo-Hookean tubes with radial incompatibilities, i.e. the outer radius of the inner tube is different than the inner
