Challenge

ASI Group, a wastewater and subsea engineering company based out of St. Catharines, turned to Niagara College’s Research & Innovation division to request technical services related to 3D scanning to solve a question regarding the performance potential in one of its mechanical components.

Solution

Utilizing the College’s co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM), specifically the Faro Focus, the research team was tasked with scanning a mechanical part, approximately two feet by three feet, to identify areas showing hairline cracks undetectable to the naked eye.
