CAD-to-Scan Comparison

Precision Inspection. Clear Insights. Better Quality Control.

We provide CAD-to-scan comparison services to evaluate manufactured components against their original CAD models. By aligning 3D scan data with the reference design, we identify dimensional deviations and visualize variations through colour deviation maps. This allows engineers to quickly identify areas that differ from the intended geometry, assess manufacturing accuracy, and support quality control and process improvement.

Reference CAD Model

The nominal CAD model used as the design reference.

Colour Deviation Map

A colour map showing where the part deviates from the design.

Green indicates areas within tolerance. Yellow, red and blue indicate positive or negative deviation from the CAD model.

Our Capabilities

01

3D Scan-to-CAD Alignment

Align scanned component data with the original CAD model to establish a reference for accurate geometric comparison.

02

Colour Deviation Mapping

Visualize dimensional variations using colour-coded deviation maps that highlight areas where the manufactured component differs from the reference design.

03

Dimensional Deviation Analysis

Identify geometric differences between the scanned component and the CAD model to support dimensional evaluation and inspection.

04

Manufacturing Quality Verification

Evaluate whether manufactured components conform to the intended design and specified tolerances, based on the available inspection criteria.

05

Inspection Reporting

Present visual comparison results and inspection reports to help engineers understand deviations and support corrective actions.

How It Works

1

Scan the Component

Capture the physical geometry of the manufactured component using 3D scanning equipment.

2

Align the Data

Align the scan data with the reference CAD model using the appropriate inspection workflow.

3

Analyse Deviations

Compare the two datasets and visualize geometric differences through a colour deviation map.

4

Review the Results

Use the comparison results to identify areas requiring further inspection or corrective action.
