Scan a part into digital format
(OP)
We use a part, referred to as a transition nozzle, that I need to model and perform finite element analyses on. This part is simply a short section of pipe that is smashed on one end. The supplier has given some very rough dimensions for these parts. I would like to have the part electronically scanned in such that I can get a list of points on the inside and outside surfaces of the part. Unfortunately, I do not know where to begin looking. I am not even sure what the actual process is called.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, in advance, for your help.

I agree with 13. Many vendors supply engineers with CAD files via email. Its worth a try.

My company had a large aircraft panel that we needed to match a backplate with. Our machine shop used its coordinate measuring machine to locate all of the holes and perimeter cuts. We had a perfect match.

I haven't tried to import the files to my cad yet (still looking for time to test the 'lite' version), but if they work fine withouth too much manual labour, It will be precise enough to cover my needs.
