Enhancing digital platforms with CT data analysis

TE Connectivity gains critical insights using Volume Graphics software throughout design, simulation and manufacturing.

As impressive as interconnected digital-platform benefits are for traditional CAD/CAE/CAM disciplines, computed tomography (CT) data analysis for quality inspection has greatly expanded its reach and purpose within today's growing digital landscape. CT data-analysis software is making the central tools of design, simulation and manufacturing - normally used well upstream of it - even better in their roles.

The establishment of Model-Based Definition (MBD) is increasingly guiding engineering beyond drawings and hybrid approaches. The move away from manual readings of data to MBD creates deeper and wider information threads throughout product development, from Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) files to machines and other programs.
