Start with reality
Scanning complex parts often reveals:
- uneven point clouds
- alignment drift
- volumetric distortion
Engineer approach
- Choose the right artifact: multi-sphere ball plates or a ruby plate for CT system for industrial CT calibration.
- Scan multiple times, adjust angles, and compare trends.
- Ensure environment is stable: temperature, airflow, and vibration control are crucial.
Key takeaway
Calibration is about revealing system behavior, not just producing one “good” scan. For complex parts, the right artifact and repeated measurement are critical.
