Simplifying inspection while increasing precision – How Olympus makes the most out of their HandyPROBE!
By: Serge Bonsaint metrologist
8 Jan 2013I recently faced an interesting challenge: inspecting a large metallic part according to the specifications of a 2D drawing, then producing a report certifying the part conformity –or not! This device belongs to one of our Quebec city-based client, Olympus, and is used for non destructive inspection (NDT) with ultrasounds to assess the structural and [...]

3D Scanning of Frog Castings
By: Isabelle Roy
26 Nov 2012Based in the Czech Republic, DT is a leader manufacturer of turnout structures for railways, undergrounds and tramway tracks. Using a Handyscan 3D portable self-positioning 3D scanner from Creaform, DT scans the frog casting of rails. The profile and geometry are scanned for further monitoring of running edges surfaces in operating conditions.
The Go!SCAN 3D is off to a very good start!

In: 3D Hardware| 3D Scanning Projects| 3D Technologies| Metrology and Inspection
26 Jul 2011We’ve got another excellent article published in the July edition of Quality Magazine. On the model of “Cooking for Dummies”, Dan wrote about the basics of 3D optical measurement technologies, and how their shop-floor accuracy, low sensitivity to the environment and higher pace of measurement make them serious contenders to traditional quality control devices.
“How do [...]
