3D scanning has evolved over the years from a slow process with relatively low precision to much faster, highly accurate technologies. The result is the application of 3D scanning in multiple industries, including the manufacturing of medical devices, surgical instruments, and other equipment for the healthcare field.
The masks available on the market range greatly in material types, classification, and filtration, so we decided it would be interesting to see the most common face masks used under the microscope. The team at Industrial Inspection & Analysis wanted people to easily visualize just what 0.1 micron (0.000004 inches), looks like.
From paper and petrochemical to pipelines and power, any plant outage is a costly prospect. Offering speed and accuracy, IIA’s non-invasive inspections minimize downtime and costs, and may often offer environmental benefits as well.
The development of new ways to measure objects and surfaces at the nano scale has allowed dimensional inspection providers to improve both accuracy and speed. It has also enabled the measurement of larger samples and objects with different surface types, as well as provide better 3D imaging capability.
When Drink Cirkul – manufacturer of an innovative bottle that produces flavored water with every sip — needed to quickly evaluate part geometry, IIA’s 3D scanning […]
In their endless efforts to keep the lights on for customers, electric line crews perform dangerous work every day. Thorough lift inspections are critical to keeping […]
IIA is a company that we really value. They help us add value for our customers and we really trust them.
Did you know that helium diffuses through solids three times faster than air? Our labs harness this unique quality to perform a highly specialized form of […]
Surface finish analysis is one of the most common applications of nano measurement, primarily because this field requires a high level of precision. Specialized equipment is necessary because traditional dimensional inspection technology is not able to capture surface characteristics such as texture, sharpness, flatness, and wear at the Nano level.
As a manufacturing executive or quality control director, you don’t always need to understand the rigorous details of every procedure that occurs during or after the production process. In fact, the necessary steps are sometimes so specialized that outsourcing them to a qualified provider makes more sense.
