Inspect Freeform Surfaces

By |2017-01-20T09:01:43-05:00January 20th, 2017|Categories: 3D Scanning|

There are various types of dial indicators and other manual gauges that can be used to inspect freeform surfaces and determine if they are within tolerance. However, inspecting surface profile tolerances can be quite challenging when you are measuring freeform surfaces. One solution for this scenario is utilizing Verisurf software along with the CMM Master. In Verisurf, you can define the Geometric Characteristic, the Tolerance Zone Size, and add the Datum References called out on [...]
