Simpleware Case Study: Reverse Engineering Automotive Parts

Reverse engineering and analysing industrial automotive parts can be a challenge, given the complexity of materials used and the need for precision when processing image data. Researchers have used Simpleware ScanIP to overcome these difficulties in a project involving the conversion of CT data of a cylinder head into a high-quality 3D model suitable for inspecting defects and exporting simulation-ready meshes.

A particular focus was placed on segmenting valve seats in order to carry out thermal simulation analysis and consider the influence of voids included when casting the aluminium part.

Thanks to JSOL Corporation for the case study.
