19 Feb 2010ACCURACY AND RESOLUTION IMPROVEMENT
When we think of future laser scanning, first thing that comes in mind is an accuracy and resolution improvement. But this is not the big deal…
First parameters to consider are from an engineering point of view and are limited by price and engineering capabilities. Structural rigidity of the scanner itself has virtually [...]

In: 3D Hardware| 3D Scanning Projects| Metrology and Inspection
10 Feb 2010Boats fabrication has always been very traditional using well established processes and has always been reluctant and slow to incorporate new technologies. However we recently see a bloom of interest from different shipyards and boat architecture offices.
TOOLS
Leica C10 long range scanner combine with Handyscan 3D Technology makes the perfect tool for boat reverse engineering, repairs, [...]
What’s New in ASME Y14.5 – 2009 Standard?
By: Alexandre Turcotte
18 Nov 2009Among the novelties of the new ASME Y14.5 – 2009 release, let me introduce you the latest symbol:.You have probably already come across this symbol on recent technical drawings. The newcomer symbol means an unequal profile tolerance.
Figure 1
CONTEXT OF USE:
In this section, I will explain how to correctly use an unequal profile tolerance with specific [...]
Inspecting while manufacturing – When time really is money
By: sboulay
28 Oct 2009A subway railway cars manufacturer needed to conduct a dimensional inspection/verification. The objective was to validate the position of some fiber glass finishing part holders.
The inspection was to be carried out with a Faro arm type portable CMM, in an indoor finishing bay. Because the inspection results generated by this type of device are directly [...]
A Long Range Coincidence… or is it?
By: Louis-Étienne Bouchard-Pouliot
21 Oct 2009For this time, I’d like to go with a personal experience. I’m just back from Dassault Systemes Consumer Conference in Orlando, FL (DSCC 2009) followed by the VAR Symposium and coincidentally, most of the time, discussions were leading to 3D Long Range Scanning. Just take a look at three subjects that were discussed and one [...]
