Wall thickness influences many aspects of a part’s performance, from structural integrity and safety to material efficiency and aesthetics. For example, in aerospace and automotive applications, walled structures influence the durability of thin-walled castings and heat exchangers, while in medical devices, they might need to comply with FDA standards for thin-walled surgical instruments and tubing. CPG products like bottles, caps, and nozzles benefit from this analysis by maintaining durability through transport, reducing material waste, and optimizing production costs.
Wall Thickness Analysis helps engineers dial in manufacturing parameters to improve throughput and reduce excess material usage. For design teams, the data can also be mapped to tools like Finite Element Analysis (FEA), streamlining validation and simulation workflows. By replacing outdated, manual methods with automated CT-based analysis, Lumafield empowers manufacturers to enhance quality control, ensure compliance, and drive continuous improvement across their production lines.
