Control X is a powerful metrology product with dozens of inspection tools available including; 2D and 3D dimensioning, GD&T analysis, color maps, Whisker plots, and many more. After all of the inspection tools are deployed for a specific inspection plan, you can create a date and time-stamped report, serialized for a particular part scan. This ensures that the inspection report of a single-part scan against a nominal CAD model is correctly identified and stored. But [...]
In this week's 2 Minute Tuesday, we take a look at how to manage a Geomagic Control X project when the user has 10, 100, or even 1000 scans to inspect against the same nominal CAD model.
Today’s post will cover the Deviation Location tool in Geomagic Control X. This tool creates a Best Fit Surface over an area of interest and enables you to analyze isolated areas on a part for wear, dents, bumps, corrosion, etc. While Reference Data is not required for this function, it is recommended. This tool takes measurements in an isolated location of the part and requires the existence of either a coordinate system or two vectors [...]
Today’s blog post will show you that analyzing airfoil shapes is easier than ever using the Geomagic Control X Airfoil Analysis technology. Once you complete an airfoil scan and align with the nominal CAD model, the software is able to return dozens of useful parameters. These parameters are necessary for a complete airfoil analysis and some of them include: Leading and trailing edge radii Leading and trailing edge positions in space Maximum chord height Leading [...]
