Adding NC Base to a Cimco DNC Installation
Adding NC Base to a Cimco DNC Installation
In the first chapter of this webinar series we will exhibit the use of Master 3D Gage. We will demonstrate applying targets to a model to execute a 3-2-1 Alignment by way of using a 5mm Renishaw Ruby probe. Once aligned, we will use the BUILD module to verify the alignment and manually check coordinate locations on the model as well as establish how to check multiple […]
3D Printer Evaluations – What to Look for in a Benchmark
by Tom Wakeley, 3D Printing Application Engineer
Often companies that are looking to get into the additive manufacturing space come to us with a benchmark file for us to print on the system they are interested in. This can be a great way to see if the machine in question can give you what you are looking for. However, coming in with a realistic expectation of […]

Driving inspection criteria from your CAD system
Our next installment in our Webinar series continues the discussion on how to apply 3D laser scanning to part inspection. In this episode the nominal CAD model will be prepped for inspection using the same part with Solidworks. We will demonstrate how to use the PMI Import Wizard to get all the inspection criteria from Solidworks into Control X and establish a seamless and […]

Geomagic Reverse Engineering – Modeling Wizards
Geomagic Reverse Engineering – Modeling Wizards
In this webinar on demand we demonstrate how Batch processing in Control X can be used to create one inspection process that can be applied to multiple parts and or scans automatically with the advantageous component of it being an unmanned process. Watch as we uncover how to develop a singular Control X inspection program
then capitalize on it by using it for any other subsequent inspections.
