In each of the Control X GD&T commands, users have the ability to color map the Fitting Deviation. So when checking for Flatness, for example, along with being able to show the Min and Max deviations as we do in the examples below, users can actually color map those differences. Below we show that the flatness of this face is within its assigned Flatness tolerance of .002” as the Min and Max values are +/-.0008”. [...]
One of our customers was recently faced with the challenge of needing to machine a complex engine port shape without a CAD model, having a circular cross-section on one end, oval on the other and was bent 90 degrees Due to the bend, the port would also need to be machined, from both ends. Below is a cross section of a similar port with a porting cutter positioned to check the depth we could reach, [...]
Design X Go – From an Engine Port to a Port Expert Toolpath | 2 Minute Tuesday In this week’s 2 Minute Tuesday, we take a look at the steps it takes to build a CAD model in Design X Go that is suitable for Mastercam's Port Expert Toolpath, starting from a physical part.

Batch Processing in Control X Professional This month, we continue to explore the Control X Professional Automation tools. Last month, we took a look at the Airfoil Analysis tool. This month, we focus on Batch Processing. Batch processing enables the user to create an inspection plan using a nominal CAD model and can then automatically assign the same inspection criteria to any number of scans, located on the user’s network. [...]
Control X Pro – Batch Processing | 2 Minute Tuesday In this week's 2 Minute Tuesday, we demonstrate how Control X Professional can inspect many scans against a nominal CAD model while unmanned by using the Batch Processing tool. Or watch and subscribe on YouTube ➤ https://youtu.be/T_bE1y2EO_g
