Until now, measurements occurred in the inspection laboratory, not on the shop floor. This paradigm shift in the metrology industry presents many new and exciting opportunities. The operator no longer needs to remove the part from the machine tool and send it to the inspection laboratory for analysis. The resulting spline data can be easily converted to complex surfaces and entire digitized objects. The CimCore Portable Measuring Machine is perfect for rapid prototyping and reverse engineering applications.
Interfaces are available to many machines.
