(NVision: Southlake, TX) -- Two recent projects related to personal protective equipment (PPE) completed by NVision Inc. demonstrate the growing role that noncontact scanning/measurement technologies are taking in the race to create new products and designs to minimize exposure to Covid-19.

NVision Inc., a leader in 3D measurement and engineering services for more than 30 years, has assisted medical manufacturers in a wide variety of projects over the years, from measuring and inspecting surgical scalpels to reverse engineering heart stents and orthodontic braces.

In one recent project, NVision provided engineering services to a Texas PPE manufacturer, helping accelerate the company’s production of a much-needed protective masks earmarked for medical personnel. NVision engineers 3D-scanned plaster models of the mask, using the resulting data to create a computer-aided design (CAD) file which was used to build the special tooling necessary for production.
