Introducing Shining 3D Freescan UE X7 and X11

By |2021-03-04T08:22:21-05:00March 4th, 2021|Categories: 3D Scanning|0 Comments

Two brand new Shining 3D Freescan scanners called the UE X7 and UE X11 offer a new threshold for high precision scanning combined with a lighter design and enhanced functionality. The enhanced software can import scans into Control X with a single mouse click, completely streamlining the scan-based inspection process. Accuracy for both the UE X7 and UE X11 is an incredible +/-20 microns (+/-.00078”) with an excellent volumetric accuracy of 20 microns + 40 [...]

Maximum Material Condition

By |2021-03-03T08:06:40-05:00March 3rd, 2021|Categories: 3D Scanning, Inspection|0 Comments

Why would one want to use a Maximum Material Condition for a true positional callout for clearance holes? Maximum Material Condition or MMC in GD&T is added to the GD&T symbol. The symbol is shown below. In this example, we have a .137 diameter clearance hole that is defined as .137 Rad +/-.010”. Let’s assume the hole is manufactured (drilled) and inspected and it comes out as a .1303 radius, placing it .0067 undersize. There [...]

How to Inspect a Scan Without a CAD Model

By |2021-02-26T08:50:36-05:00February 26th, 2021|Categories: 3D Scanning, 3d Scanning & Reverse Engineering|0 Comments

When using Control X for inspection, you are usually comparing one scan file to another scan file, or a scan file to a nominal CAD file. But sometimes you may have the need to inspect or measure a one-off part without a CAD file to compare it to. This blog post will explain how to take an isolated 3D scan in Control X and take measurements from it. In the example part above we have [...]

Creating a Water-Tight Model from CAT scan

By |2021-02-24T08:22:36-05:00February 24th, 2021|Categories: 3D Scanning|0 Comments

This blog post will show you an advanced method to clean up internal portions of a CAT scan with the goal of creating a water-tight model. When processing CAT scan data the biggest challenge is cleaning up the geometry. Typically, the internal geometry of a CAT scan contains disconnected poly-faces, which makes it difficult to select and delete only the unwanted geometry. A good example of this is a CAT scan of a bone, as [...]

Metal 3D Printing for Government and Defense

By |2021-02-19T08:18:03-05:00February 19th, 2021|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Desktop Metal|0 Comments

Encompassing more than 100,000 companies and subcontractors around the globe, the government and defense industries produce everything from equipment for law enforcement, infrastructure and public transit to the development, design, production, and maintenance of military weapons and systems, components, and parts. The mission-critical nature of many of their applications means government and defense manufacturers face a number of unique challenges, starting with production volume. From producing a handful of prototype parts for research to mass-producing [...]
