Metrology Minute – Geometry Deviation

By |2021-11-02T09:42:51-04:00November 2nd, 2021|Categories: Metrology Minute|0 Comments

Geometry Deviation is a tool for measuring essentially everything that might be relevant for size, orientation, and location for a specific feature. For example, when measuring geometry deviation for a cylinder, the criteria of interest would likely be the size, location, and centerline axis direction as they all compare to the nominal (exact) CAD model. As you review the data blocks below, Control X can compare the scan data values to the CAD data values [...]

5-Axis Machining – What are the Axes?

By |2021-10-25T08:15:20-04:00October 25th, 2021|Categories: Mastercam|0 Comments

Five-axis machining is taking the machining world by storm, and for good reason. This type of manufacturing, in which computer numerical control is used to move cutting parts or tools along five different axes simultaneously, unlocks incredible potential for any shop. Five-axis machining reduces labor hours, eliminates extra setups, increases production efficiency, and results in beautiful, complex parts. Understanding 5-axis machining is less simple, though. To help, we are breaking down each of the five [...]
