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 [...]

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 [...]
