This presentation introduces how industrial x-ray CT can accelerate automotive engineering through high-precision reverse engineering of complex assembled components. CT scanning captures internal geometries non-destructively, including multimaterial parts and hidden structures that conventional measurement cannot access. The segmented 3D models can be directly used for CAE simulation, benchmarking, failure analysis and competitive product evaluation. A practical workflow – from CT scanning to simulation-ready models – will be presented, showing how this approach enables faster design validation, deeper insight into competitor products and more efficient engineering decisions in automotive development.

• How CT scanning enables the creation of high-fidelity 3D models for complex assemblies, ensuring more accurate and reliable CAE simulation results
• Techniques for non-destructively analyzing the internal architecture of competitor products to support benchmarking and product evaluation
• How reverse engineering services help engineers obtain accurate 3D models of complex assemblies when CAD data is unavailable
