How to Improve Part Quality in a Shorter Timeframe with Industrial CT Scanning Andrew Good, Jesse Garant & Associates, Metrology Center Manufacturers of castings understand how important it is to acquire an accurate and precise scale of measurement to check their parts to specifi cation and establish conformity with the data. Much of today’s industry and technology relies on accurate measurement. Turning to industrial CT Scanning for void analysis is a cost effective solution compared to other traditional methods. Industrial CT provides a complete and accurate 3D model of the part’s internal and external geometries after scanning. Parts are scanned in a free-state environment, allowing for both external and internal measurements to be made and validated quickly and accurately. This presentation will outline an introduction to Industrial CT Scanning and how foundries improve part quality in a shorter timeframe; it will show examples, and share various case studies will outline how this is done and how it is serving those in the aerospace and automotive industries.

“If Only My Foundry Knew What it Knows …”: A 7Epsilon Perspective on Root Cause Analysis and Corrective Action Plans for ISO9001:2008 Dr. Meghana Ransing, p-matrix LTD The process optimization effort and the company went through a roller coaster phase in the last 4 years. However, the best part of it has survived and is resurfacing in a better format.
The authors
have proposed a new initiative referred to as 7Epsilon (www.7epsilon. org). Depuy in Ireland explains how/why they decided to implement 7Epsilon. The focus of the paper will be on continual process improvement case studies for Investment Castings with lots of details that have never appeared before. The paper is novel and original. In the last six months the authors have trained more than 100 process engineers in Europe and India on this philosophy.

Foundry Case Studies of Optical Non-Contact 3D Metrology Applications Johan Gout, Capture 3D, Inc. – US Optical 3D measuring systems such as fringe projection systems and laser scanners have become fi rmly established alongside tactile measuring machines as industrial production measuring technology for complete, full-surface measurement of component geometry. Optical 3D coordinate measuring acquires the entire component geometry in a dense point cloud instead of measuring individual points only. The measured data obtained can be used in areas as inspection, reverse engineering, in pattern, tool and mold making, in engineering and machining (CAD/CAM), during fi rst article inspection, in production related quality assurance (CAQ) and in process control (PCS). Worldwide, optical 3D measurement technology is used as a precise, fast and robust measuring solution in pressure die, gravity die and sand casting as well as in lost foam and investment casting processes. Due to its high quality measurement data and fl exibility, optical measuring technology is implemented in measuring rooms as well as in production related quality control. The presentation describes the functions and practical applications for full-fi eld optical 3D metrology: geometrical 3D measurements for shape & dimension measurement and inspection on wax patterns, ceramic cores, molds & dies, wax assembly & shelled mold, cast parts and machining. A special focus is set on automated quality control on airfoils, blisks and turbines in power generation and aerospace industry.
