Objectives The main project objectives are to
develop new basic hardware components and
algorithms for fast and accurate 3D-CT scanning
for parts of any complexity and large dimensions,
new algorithms for automated CT image processing,
fast surface and solid modeling as well as
methodologies for the integration of the new
technologies into the rapid product development
and manufacturing processes. A next generation CT
prototype will be set up for validation and
testing. A particular attention will also be
given to make these new technologies well known
to the key European industries.

Metrology
Proposing educational services and consulting in
the fields of-Measurements and control of 2D
and 3D geometrical features using tactile,
optical and laser coordinate measuring systems -
Automation of measurement processes using image
acquisition and processing techniques - CAD
Systems - Reverse Engineering. The modern
endowment  consists of high precision
measurement machines and devices, computers and
software for engineering design
TUCN/CERMI contribution -know-how and experience
in the following areas of interest RE, CAD
Systems (testing and validation), collaboration
in developing standards and regulations, transfer
of knowledge through training programs (E-DETECT,
TRAINING-DETECT, DEMO-DETECT) and dissemination.
The training skills and abilities obtained in the
frame of TEMPUS and LEONARDO programs are
complementary to the specialization of the
consortium members. The development and
application of the Dissemination by Involvement
concept using information stored in a database,
organization of workshops, and the use of the
Internet support, will allow the know-how
transfer to and from the members of the target
group (especially SMEs)
Expected impact - Creation and development of a
durable cooperation model between research and
industry allowing a coherent and flexible
knowledge transfer from both parts. - Knowledge
transfer to an increased number of SMEs,
companies, universities and research centers both
from EU and PAC members. - High efficiency of
the dissemination expressed by the number of the
target group members (from the quantitative point
of view) and by the innovative degree of
knowledge generated in the project (from the
qualitative point of view). - Improving the
education of Virtual Engineering specialists
