Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Pipeline 3D Scanning Solutions for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) in Oil & Gas

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is an inspection and analysis technique used by the oil and gas industry, among others, to evaluate the properties of pipelines without destroying the serviceability of the original system. Surface corrosion, mechanical damages, and cracks are the most common discontinuities detected by visual examinations.

As NDT managers or project engineers working for a service company, you supervise the team of technicians in charge of collecting data during the pipeline inspections. You must verify and analyze the results to provide the pipeline owner with the right diagnosis. For you, inaccurate and unreliable measurements could lead to faulty analysis that can have important consequences.

As integrity managers or engineers working for a pipeline owner, you are responsible for evaluating and maintaining the integrity of aging pipeline networks. The decision to repair a section of the pipeline or to challenge the diagnosis provided by the service company is under your authority. Thus, to ensure the pipeline’s integrity and reliability, you must make the right decision, based on information that you trust.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

3D Scanning Solutions for Quality Control & Quality Assurance (QA/QC)

Quality assurance (QA), on the other hand, consists of a set of procedures that prevent mistakes and defects in the different steps of the manufacturing process in order to avoid non- compliance when delivering parts to customers. Dimensional quality control (QC) is a process that measures the dimensions of manufactured parts to ensure that they adhere to a defined set of quality criteria and match customers’ requirements.

As QA engineers, you are in charge of investigating the problems raised by QC and production, performing the root cause analysis (often under pressure), and implementing corrective actions quickly to limit downtime. Through this process, you will also look for ways to improve the manufacturing process while minimizing production costs and lead time.

As QC managers, you have the delicate task of ensuring—even improving—the quality of the manufactured parts by applying effective controls performed with reliable, fast, and easy-to- use measuring equipment. You are also responsible for testing and validating the true performance of these instruments. Therefore, equipment unavailability, inefficiency, and limitations are obstacles to your work performance.

Reverse Engineering

3D Scanning and Scan-to-CAD Solutions for Reverse Engineering

Reverse engineering is a process that involves measuring a physical object and reconstructing it as a 3D model to recover the design intent—a perfect reconstruction of the original design—in terms of simple analytical surfaces (planes, cylinders, etc.) and freeform surfaces (NURBS) in order to produce a new reference CAD model.

As CAD engineers and industrial designers, you have the critical task of adapting and maintaining parts with shapes that are frequently organic and complex. Since the CAD models are often no longer available or difficult to find, you have to reconstruct the 3D models and integrate them into the design.

The reasons for reverse engineering are multiple: to replace damaged components (for which CAD models are nonexistent), to update obsolete parts, to fit new parts into a current assembly or environment, to generate new manufacturing plans, or simply to analyze competitors’ product features. 3D scanners are generally the preferred technology for extracting dimensional information and representing it as a point cloud or an automatic and instant mesh.
