Metrology Minute – Pairing Manager in Control X

By |2023-11-07T09:03:32-05:00November 7th, 2023|Categories: Metrology Minute|

When objects are scanned for inspection, Control X needs to be able to review the scan and extract analytic features from the scan. For instance, when measuring a radius, the software needs to be able to distinguish where one radius CAD feature ends and a new feature starts in order to perform an accurate measurement. Using the CAD model below as it example, it is comprised of many analytic features, such as cylinders, planes, tori, [...]

An Overview of 3D Scanners

By |2023-11-07T08:48:09-05:00November 7th, 2023|Categories: 3D Scanning|

As a good rule of thumb, there are three areas of highest concern when selecting the right 3D scanner for your needs. 3D Scanners should be selected based on their accuracy, their resolution, and in cases of metrology, for their repeatability. Accuracy is perhaps the most intuitive as it is simply the distance that the scan points will be from the surface being captured. Resolution (aka “Point Spacing”) is a scanner’s ability to capture fine [...]

Mastercam 2024 High Speed Pencil Toolpath

By |2023-11-06T08:22:08-05:00November 6th, 2023|Categories: Mastercam, Mastercam 2024|

In this blog post, we will take a look at how the addition of avoidance geometry streamlines the use of the Mastercam 2024 High-speed pencil toolpath. If you create a pencil toolpath and select the geometry surrounding the radius that you want to machine and look at the resulting motion of the toolpath (that is set to one pass), you will notice that the tool is diving into the part at every surface intersection. In [...]

3D Printing in Eyewear Manufacturing

By |2023-11-03T08:12:16-04:00November 3rd, 2023|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, FormLabs|

Since 1976, Plastinax has been manufacturing eyewear for some of the world’s biggest brands. They work with global customers to design sunglasses, optical frames, and safety frames, then move into high-volume production, injection molding as many as 80,000 to 100,000 frames each month. Lead time and responsiveness are of utmost importance — in order to remain competitive in a global market, Plastinax has to expedite design and manufacturing so that their frames can travel from [...]

3D Scanning in the Automotive Industry

By |2023-11-01T08:20:31-04:00November 1st, 2023|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg|

By bridging the gap between the physical and digital worlds, 3D scanning enables automakers to work with high-fidelity digital twins of physical objects within CAD/CAM/CAE environments, allowing for rapid design iteration, measurement automation, enhanced collaboration, and archiving for historical trend analysis. Here are some of the ways that 3D scanning helps the automotive industry. Reverse engineering 3D scanning is a fast method of creating measurements dense enough on a part to resolve even highly complex [...]
