Non-Contact inspection: Review scanner specs for accuracy and resolution parameters. • Import the nominal CAD model and scan into Control X. • Discuss batch processing many scans, unmanned. • Discuss how Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) may be used to automate the complete process by integrating with your CAD system. https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/ltcs92zoqo?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640
Non-Contact inspection - Webinars on Demand Comparing the scan of a manufactured part with its nominal CAD model. • Review scanner specs for accuracy and resolution parameters. • Import the nominal CAD model and scan into Control X. a. Duplicate the CAD datums on the scan and perform a datum alignment. b. Once aligned, produce color maps, whisker plots, 2D and 3D dimensions, GD&T and a final inspection report. • Discuss batch processing many scans, [...]
HP has organized globally with its digital manufacturing community to help with the shortage of medical supplies. More than 1000 3D printed parts have already been delivered to local hospitals. To support these efforts, they have developed a website with files that are vetted for public use. And, those in need of parts or help with medical applications and design can also request help on the same website. Currently, they have several designs which are [...]
