ABS 3D Printing – Easy as PLA with MakerBot RapidRinse

By |2021-11-04T14:16:40-04:00November 3rd, 2021|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, MakerBot|

ABS is one of the most popular manufacturing polymers in the world, but desktop 3D printing with ABS has always been challenging. Warped and failed prints, expensive wash tanks, and chemicals for dissolving support material have all been limiting factors. Now you can print and post-process ABS parts as easily, and consistently as PLA with the new MakerBot RapidRinse™ Fast-Dissolving Support Material. Be one of the first 100 to join the ABS revolution [...]

Metrology Minute – Geometry Deviation

By |2021-11-02T09:42:51-04:00November 2nd, 2021|Categories: Metrology Minute|

Geometry Deviation is a tool for measuring essentially everything that might be relevant for size, orientation, and location for a specific feature. For example, when measuring geometry deviation for a cylinder, the criteria of interest would likely be the size, location, and centerline axis direction as they all compare to the nominal (exact) CAD model. As you review the data blocks below, Control X can compare the scan data values to the CAD data values [...]

Color Map Fitting Inside Control X

By |2021-10-27T09:02:25-04:00October 27th, 2021|Categories: 3D Scanning|

In this blog post, we are going to take a look at Color Map Fitting inside of Control X. Color Map Fitting is a useful tool for analyzing the tolerances of 3D scan mesh files, relative to the original model. The image above shows a CAD model of a crankshaft with the scan mesh superimposed on the model. The image below shows the Color Map Fitting. We first selected the flatness of the scanned mesh [...]
