Metrology Minute – Batch Processing
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.
Deviation Location Tool in Control X
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 […]
