The Go!Scan 3D portable handheld scanner delivers high-quality 3D models with reliable measurements. It weighs a little over 2lbs and has an ergonomic grip providing simple ease of use. Similar to Creaform’s HandyScan, it has a USB and power cable which connects directly to your laptop or workstation. Upon setup, typical objects can be scanned in 5 minutes or less. The Go!Scan operates with a white light (LED), which is great for capturing organic shapes [...]
There are various types of dial indicators and other manual gauges that can be used to inspect freeform surfaces and determine if they are within tolerance. However, inspecting surface profile tolerances can be quite challenging when you are measuring freeform surfaces. One solution for this scenario is utilizing Verisurf software along with the CMM Master. In Verisurf, you can define the Geometric Characteristic, the Tolerance Zone Size, and add the Datum References called out on [...]
A major step forward in metrology software By Joel Pollet The new Geomagic Control X inspection product from 3D Systems offers a computer-aided design (CAD)-like interface and an improved workflow for Geomagic Control users. By including extended product manufacturing information support, users of popular CAD systems can now seamlessly transfer critical inspection information, such as datum features, directly from their CAD product to Control X without the need to re-create it from scratch. By having [...]
Let’s explore how to reverse engineer a variable fillet from a polygonal mesh . . . When reverse engineering a physical model, radius values can be measured with various types of radius gauges. It can be somewhat of a challenge if the fillet face is worn, chipped, or distorted. In addition, the task becomes more complex if the fillet is not constant, that is, if it varies along the edge like the mouse shown below. [...]
