Campaign: Young Talents for Innovative Industries

For quality control purposes, plastic parts (consumables for the MedTech industry) need to be measured in the CT scanner to check for the overall geometry. They are positioned using a defined fixture, which must allow the X-rays from the CT scanner to pass through so that the parts can be clearly recognized and volumetrically measured. As the parts to be measured have a density of 0.93 g/cm³, the fixture must have a significantly lower density. Currently, the devices for the CT scanner are cut out of a foam-like semi-finished product manually or using a milling machine. This process is very labor-intensive and involves a high level of waste.
