Stay tuned for an in-depth webinar showing the step-by-step process of Design X.
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, [...]
Cimquest is hosting a free webinar on Monday, March 30, 2020 11AM - noon EDT. If you're looking to make good use of some of your downtime, please join us. During this 1-hour presentation, you can learn how to apply 3D laser scanning to part inspection in your machine shop. Here are some of the things we will cover: Review scanner specs for accuracy and resolution parameters. Import the nominal CAD model and scan into [...]
In part one of this “How to Choose the Right 3D Scanner” series we discussed scanning accuracy and resolution. In addition to these attributes, many scanners can also capture what we refer to as texture or color texture. Very often, when scanning a shape, color texture isn't terribly important, unless the scans will be used for 3D color printing, to display on a website, or for use in AR/VR. But in too many cases, color [...]

The world of 3D scanning offers many different technologies. From free scanners that run on Smartphones, all the way up to industrial options for high precision metrology, it can be difficult to determine the best 3D scanner solution that will meet your requirements. How do you know what scanning solution is right for you? The first step is to determine the object size of the parts you will be scanning. Scanners generally have a fixed [...]

This article will introduce you to the Variscan Pico 3D Scanner from Cimquest. The Variscan Pico is a stationary, light-based scanner, capable of changing light sources from structured white light to red, green or blue light to optimize the acquisition of different colors and textures as well as achieve full-color scanning. A 10-12-minute calibration process is required to ensure excellent accuracy, resolution, and repeatability for virtually any scanning requirement, whether it be for 3D Printing, [...]
