While CMM’s are a necessity in most […]
Performing Calipers-only Inspection
Many Mastercam users still work from 2D prints to machine parts and don’t have solid models. In these cases, manual “virtual” measurement tools may still be used to take measurements even in the absence of a solid model. Let’s imagine that you just machined the connecting arm below from a 2D print and don’t have a nominal CAD model to compare against.
In previous blog posts, we showed how to create Regions on the model and […]
