Part Inspection in Batches
You can easily perform part inspections in batches and automatically generate inspection reports for each part using a Creaform HandyScan scanner, along with Geomagic Control X software.
The first step is to capture your parts’ geometry with a metrology grade, certified scanner. Scan each part in the batch, and export an STL file.
It’s handy to put all of the scans in one folder.

Now, in Mastercam 2018, one simple checkbox makes this option available in the 3D highspeed hybrid toolpath.
Let ‘s take a look at how this works…
To begin, let’s compare two scallop toolpaths […]
The New Rize One 3D Printer
There is a fairly new machine on the 3D printing scene, the Rize™ One. Capable of producing parts in a medical grade material, the Rize One sets out to eliminate the common hassles and headaches attributed to post-processing.
