Surfaces are designed into products to reduce friction, “store” lubricants, provide a high luster finish or be the proper texture to hold paint (but not show the actual surface of the paint).
To choose the right 3D surface measurement tool, an engineer must carefully consider the size of the object, the speed of the scan and analysis, and a customer’s tolerance requirements.
Real-world objects have depth, width and height, and automated systems such as robots need to “see” in these three dimensions if they are to operate successfully.
Aerospace is leading the way in the IIoT, with a heightened focus on additive manufacturing, the digital thread, and lightning-fast 3D measurement and inspection technologies.
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the growing network of physical objects that are embedded with sensors to enable connection with each other and exchange of data.
Creaform has launched Creaform ACADEMIA™, its completely new academic suite of 3D measurement solutions designed especially for the academic market. Creaform ACADEMIA offers a didactic suite for forward-thinking teachers and researchers, who are looking to inspire, collaborate and push the innovation envelope forward using latest industry technologies.
Metrologic Group and Creaform entered into a partnership in which Creaform integrates Metrologic Group’s software suite with its new CUBE-R 3D automated dimensional inspection solution.
