3D Dimensioning

Surfaces, in form of iso-surfaces and point clouds, can be extracted from sets of reconstructed volume data. The generated data is measured by adjusting geometries or by comparison against CAD data- as shown below using the example of an injection- molded plastic connector. 3D dimensioning is the only technique allowing to non-destructively measure the interior of complex objects.

	In 3D dimensioning, artifact-free 3D volume or voxel data are used. (Images courtesy of PHOENIX CONTACT)
	The reconstruction software datos x directly extracts the surfaces from the voxel data. The image to the left shows the iso- surfaces. In order to ensure outstanding ease-of-use and geometrically correct extractions, innovative threshold calculation algorithms have been added to the surface|extraction- module.

	One option for measuring extracted surfaces is the use of ruled geometries. The image (left) was generated using PolyWorks®. (Images courtesy of PHOENIX CONTACT)
	The CAD- Data of the connector, shown in blue, are aligned to fit the reconstructed surfaces in order to show deviations. (Images courtesy of PHOENIX CONTACT)
	Process colors help to illustrate the absolute deviation between connector and CAD data. (Images courtesy of PHOENIX CONTACT)
