Course Overview
This course is recommended for VT and other NDT inspectors, Level IIIs, quality assurance managers, and engineers.
Advances in the field of remote visual inspection have been made in lensing, illumination, and imaging, such that the resulting measurements are more precise than ever. This precision, though, is only as good as the measurement point selected using modern video borescopes. In this course, you’ll learn how 3D modeling helps make this process easier and more efficient. 3D modeling also allows visual testing (VT) inspectors to evaluate the surface of what is being measured with increased confidence. Lastly, it permits the technician to quickly pinpoint an area of interest to speed up the inspection time and produce more reliable results.
Upon Completion, Learners Will Be Able To:
- Describe the process and benefits of 3D modeling of discontinuities for the VT inspector
