Camoplast’s Polymer Solutions group is a leading provider of thermoplastics and Thermoset systems, as well as components for premium manufacturers and motor vehicle OEMs. Camoplast’s Roxton Falls division was looking for a quality control solution for its drilling jigs during production to ensure compliance on a regular basis.

Camoplast’s objectives:

Control jig bending and wear
Target potential bending [...]

It was to be expected that we would talk a lot about photogrammetry after we’ve launched the MaxSHOT 3D optical coordinates measuring system. But it’s OK, since what we have to say is interesting!
Product manager Dan Brown wrote a new column published on Quality Digest Online explaining how to enhance 3D scanning with photogrammetry…Here’s a [...]

Yes, we do have a conscience and we are concerned about planet Earth’s health. That is why we were thrilled when we got called to work on inspecting battery trays prototypes that will be used in the next all-electric car of a renowned French automotive car manufacturer.
Find out all about it and about our ongoing [...]

We have had a pretty busy year so far, and we have worked very hard to enhance our products and develop new ones. September has seen 2 new product launches: the new HandyPROBE CMM and the all-new MaxSHOT 3D optical coordinate measuring system.
As for the HandyPROBE CMM, the sturdier and slimmer device  shed a little more [...]

We’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 [...]

In this article, you’ll find my reflexions about the ultimate 21st century goal in 3D laser scanning: increased portability.
(…) But during the past few decades, manufacturers have been increasingly interested in measuring devices that are both comprehensive in scope and portable. Nowadays, measurement has broken outside the labs, mainly because successful companies need to be able [...]

Daniel raises interesting questions about the use of 3D scanning and touch probing for QC:
“Today’s 3D scanners offer excellent accuracy, are easy to use, and are fully integrated by all major 3D inspection software. However, three basic questions remain: When should a part be scanned? What features should be scanned? What features should be hard-probed? [...]

Jeudi dernier, 130 personnes du domaine de la métrologie se sont réunies à l’École Polytechnique de Montréal pour assister aux conférences données dans le cadre de la 3e Journée de la métrologie en aérospatiale, organisée par Creaform.
Plusieurs conférences y ont été présentées par des experts de la métrologie provenant d’organisations renommées  telles que  l’École Polytechnique de Montréal, [...]

Today, we introduced the new VXtrack dynamic tracking software module.
When teamed with Creaform’s C-Track dual camera optical sensor, VXtrack dynamic tracking can be used to simultaneously and continuously measure positions and orientations in space with great precision.

 
Combined with the HandyPROBE arm-free portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM), VXtrack provides a complete portable 3D measuring solution offering [...]

Creaform is recognized worldwide for its innovative technologies, but is also a leader in 3D measuring. The company employs several experienced metrologists and uses the most advanced measuring systems on the market.
As for the leader in computer-related products IBM, the company wanted to guarantee the quality of the server parts manufactured by its suppliers [...]
