Wall Thickness analysis with VGStudioMax

Wall Thickness Analysis
 

Perform volumetric analyses of a part’s thickness quickly and automatically—either using the ray method for parts with simple shapes or the sphere method for more organic shapes, including complex 3D printed parts. Color-coded results help you localize areas with an insufficient or excessive wall thickness or gap width within the voxel, point cloud, mesh, or CAD data set.

The wall thickness analysis features:

  • Automatically and quickly analyze the wall thickness.*
  • Offer two different, dedicated methods for cubic and organic parts, respectively:
    • For parts with near-parallel surfaces, the ray-based method delivers the best results.
    • For organic, curved or even branching surfaces, the sphere method is preferable, especially for complex 3D printed shapes that are topology optimized, generatively designed or even lattice structures.
  • Locate areas with an insufficient or excessive wall thickness or gap width automatically and directly within the voxel, point cloud, mesh, or CAD data set.
  • Allow the application of tolerances with various parameters, e.g., thickness (minimum, maximum, mean, deviation).
  • Reduce the number of false detections with a noise filter, which is especially helpful for automated inspections.

* Use in combination with Coordinate Measurement Module recommended
