What is the Universal CMM?

By |2021-04-07T08:12:07-04:00April 7th, 2021|Categories: Technology|

The Universal CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) is a software-only alternative to many of the cryptic and clumsy programming software products that ship with CMM’s and Head controllers. The Verisurf AUTOMATE module provides communications between Verisurf software and the CMM giving you a simple user interface to address authoring inspection programs from a variety of supported CMM’s. Tolerating outdated metrology software is now a thing of the past, especially for companies owning multiple CMM’s, each with [...]

Verisurf Mesh Utilities for 3D Data Preparation

By |2021-04-02T08:11:27-04:00April 2nd, 2021|Categories: 3d Scanning & Reverse Engineering, verisurf|

The powerful Verisurf Mesh utilities allow you to create high-quality meshes for 3D printing, machine from STL, and use as nominal models for inspection. Power Mesh simultaneously can create, merge, clean up, refine, smooth, hole fill, and extend the mesh. Advanced options control mesh density and can close mesh volume. Power Mesh can create water-tight mesh, a natural first step in any reverse engineering workflow. Stitch Mesh connects discontinuous meshes along their common boundaries while [...]

Tooling-free Manufacturing with Desktop Metal

By |2021-03-24T08:19:22-04:00March 24th, 2021|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Desktop Metal|

Without the need to manufacture jigs, fixtures, or molds, engineers and designers can go from design to functional part in as little as a day. If needed, designers can print multiple versions of a part, then quickly iterate on the design based on functional testing results. The speed and accessibility of additive manufacturing allows design teams to go through dozens of design iterations in as little as a week. Once part designs are finalized, binder [...]
