Batch Processing – Unmanned Inspections

By |2025-04-17T10:39:51-04:00April 15th, 2025|Categories: 3d Scanning & Reverse Engineering, Control X, Metrology Minute|0 Comments

We’ve seen how to inspect the scan of a single, manufactured part against an inspection plan generated using a nominal CAD model.   But what if we have many manufactured part scans to inspect against the same inspection plan, using the same nominal CAD model. That’s where Batch Processing comes in. The exact same inspection process can be reused as many times as needed and no human intervention is required. Once the batch processing [...]

Batch Processing in Control X Professional

By |2024-12-05T14:35:13-05:00December 4th, 2024|Categories: 3D Scanning, 3d Scanning & Reverse Engineering|Tags: |0 Comments

Batch Processing in Control X Professional This month, we continue to explore the Control X Professional Automation tools.  Last month, we took a look at the Airfoil Analysis tool.  This month, we focus on Batch Processing.  Batch processing enables the user to create an inspection plan using a nominal CAD model and can then automatically assign the same inspection criteria to any number of scans, located on the user’s network.    [...]

What’s New with Shining 3D Scanners

By |2024-10-08T09:06:14-04:00October 8th, 2024|Categories: 3d Scanning & Reverse Engineering|0 Comments

What's New with Shining 3D Scanners Einscan HX and HX2 (Reverse Engineering) The HX is an excellent scanner for reverse engineering. For the scanning and reverse engineering of many part sizes and shapes, the Einscan HX (and soon, the HX2) are an excellent choice. Stay-tuned for HX2 info. when it becomes available. The HX and HX2 are hybrid scanners. While holding 40 micron total tolerance in laser mode, this scanner model can also scan [...]

Metrology Minute – Utilizing Color Maps for understanding machining outcomes

By |2024-09-04T10:30:44-04:00September 4th, 2024|Categories: Metrology Minute|0 Comments

Utilizing Color Maps for understanding machining outcomes Consider this airfoil. It was programmed and machined on a 5-Axis mill, using a single setup. The ball mill was able to travel completely around the shape, during the machining process and therefore blending the top and bottom of the surface didn’t need to be considered. Our job is to inspect the airfoil and make suggestions to the CNC Programmer and Tool Designer to optimize the machining process. [...]
