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 [...]
3D Laser Scanners: the Ongoing Quest for Portability
By: Daniel Brown
In: 3D Scanning Projects| 3D Technologies| Metrology and Inspection
8 Jul 2011In 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 [...]
Handyscan 3D Product Manager Daniel Brown on 3D Scanning and Touch Probing for QC
By: Isabelle Roy
In: 3D Scanning Projects| 3D Technologies| Metrology and Inspection
30 May 2011Daniel 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? [...]
