What is Metrology Part 2: CMM
CMM A CMM is a widely used machine used to measure objects. A CMM is a coordinate measuring machine. This refers to any machine that measures the geometry of physical objects by sensing discrete points on the surface of the object with a probe. This is the essence of...
What is Metrology?
3D Metrology What is 3D metrology? . Metrology is the science of measurement. It establishes a common understanding of units, crucial in linking and understanding human activities. When we apply metrology to the field of 3D this generally refers to measuring size,...
What is Metrology Part 19 – Moire Effect in 3D Printing
Moire Effect Errors are abundant when measuring objects, and we have continually come across this within our series of articles. . Image processing in 2 dimensions is vital for transforming images into a 3D structure. This includes extruding a 2D image into 3D as...
How Are 3D Prints Used For Design?
There are plenty of uses of 3D printing, and one of them is for design feedback. The most frequent use of 3D printing is prototyping, in which a proposed model of the final design is produced and tested. . The testing can take many forms, from mechanical to...
