If you’ve ever watched the Blue Man Group perform, you may have wondered about the series of tubes they strike to create percussive yet melodic notes. It’s called a tubulum, and it’s in the same family of instruments as a xylophone or vibraphone, only it utilizes hollow tubes to create music. The Blue Man Group’s giant tubulum was built from PVC pipes, but we realized that we could create the same effect through 3D printing. [...]

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 [...]
