OUR
SOLUTION

XRD 3131N and CST Tools

Notoriously difficult to scan! That is what Plastic injection moldings with metal inserts are. Plastic is great for CT scanning, and so is metal – the combination of them is very hard to scan. Varex’s fully 3D volumetric based MMBH correction algorithms bring out the clean surfaces you need to make accurate measurements. Click on “X-Ray setup” and read more about CST and the XRD 3131N to get the best surfaces – surfaces you can measure on!
