    Verifying Assemblies Using CT Scans and Geomagic Solutions


    Rus Emerick, Global Process Owner for 3D Imaging at Schneider Electric, spends a lot of time thinking*about tolerances. Starting with tolerances of individual parts, his brain moves swiftly on to the effect of*chains of tolerances that, once you get to 4, 5 or more parts in an assembly, could cumulatively affect*the reliability of the products being made at any of their manufacturing and design sites in 22 countries*around the world. But how can the consistency of assemblies be verified before and during production?*Using traditional destructive testing was proving inefficient, slow and often did not help the team verify*consistency in the parts and assemblies. Dynamic tolerance analysis of these assembled parts was even*more of a challenge. Money was being wasted. There had to be a better solution and Emerick knew that 3D*data would continue to provide the answers he needed.
