Creaform on Board to Help American Magic Win the 37th America’s Cup See the articleWe’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 optical measurement devices work, exactly?
The basic principle of this technology is that the optical CMM’s cameras track the position of the part and that of a 3D scanner or touch probe simultaneously in a “locked” reference model, which makes measuring possible in all conditions. Factors such as instability in the machine/part setup, vibrations or thermal variations will have absolutely no effect on the output measurement accuracy.”
