3D Metrology Services – Medical – Syringe Injection Mold Form Measurement

Intelligent Solutions for Precision Manufacturing of Geometric Elements

At EDM Intelligent Solutions, our high-resolution 3D scans allow for form measurement down to the µm scale. With our 3D Metrology services, we’re able to offer our customers high-resolution measurements of almost any shape, size, and form. Our non-contact 3D measurements are the perfect complement to many destructive testing methods. Form Measurement of geometric elements can be completed without the risk of damaging an important test piece. Comparison to nominal elements as well as profile extraction and measurement of critical dimensions is possible with a single dataset captured on our MVi5 3D Metrology Center.

An example of a Form Measurement using 3D profiles to extract data from a syringe injection mold is shown below.

3D Dataset of Mold Cavity

A 3D rendering shows a cross-section of a conical object with a textured surface, possibly a mold or a funnel, with a thin rod extending from its base. The object is predominantly gray and white, with a white circular base and a gray conical interior that tapers to a point. The exterior of the object is a dark gray, cylindrical shape with a curved rim at the top.

 

3D Form Measurements of Mold Cavity

A 3D scan of a machined part shows a conical section at the top, followed by two cylindrical sections and a spherical element, with detailed metrology data displayed in callout boxes. The data indicates nominal dimensions, actual measured values, and deviations for each feature, suggesting a quality control inspection. For instance, 'Cone 1' has a nominal angle of +4.50 and an actual measurement of +4.46, resulting in a deviation of -0.04. Similarly, 'Cylinder 2' shows a nominal diameter of +1.3750 with an actual of +1.3745 and a deviation of -0.0005. 'Sphere 1' has a nominal radius of +0.6800 and an actual of +0.6810, with a deviation of +0.0010. Finally, 'Cylinder 1' has a nominal radius of +0.1875 and an actual of +0.1873, with a deviation of -0.0002. The green overlay represents the scanned data, while the gray outline represents the intended design.

 

The image displays a 3D scan of a mechanical part, likely a component with precise dimensions, shown in a cutaway view at the top. Below, two cross-sectional views of the part are presented, each with detailed metrology annotations. These annotations include measurements for angles (Angle 1 and Angle 2) and radii (Radius 1, Radius 2, Radius 3, and Radius 4). The data indicates nominal values, actual measured values, and deviations from the nominal, suggesting a quality control or manufacturing process analysis. For instance, Angle 1 has a nominal value of +95.00 and an actual value of +94.51, with a deviation of -0.49. Similarly, Radius 1 is nominally +0.0750 and measured at +0.0779, showing a positive deviation of +0.0029. The presence of 'Check' indicators suggests that these measurements are within acceptable tolerances. A coordinate system (X, Y, Z axes) is also visible in the bottom left corner, orienting the part in space.

 

COMPETITIVE 3D METROLOGY, MEASUREMENT, AND INSPECTION SERVICES

Intelligent solutions to manufacturing and measurement challenges are what we do. Over the past 25 years, we’ve completed thousands of measurement and metrology projects. What differentiates EDM Intelligent Solutions 3D Metrology services from the competition is our unique understanding of each manufacturing process.

The EDMIS metrology technicians and applications engineers support their colleagues in our tight tolerance CNC machine shop that produces ultra-precision components for customers every day. Harnessing this unique relationship with manufacturing, our metrology team has the experience needed to fully assist our customers leverage the measurements taken of their components to improve their manufacturing processes.

We are confident that we can measure your most challenging components and work with you to fully understand what those measurements tell you about them. To learn more about how EDMIS can help you, contact our metrology team with your request for quote.
