3D Metrology Services – Industrial – Form Inspection of Conical Surface

At EDM Intelligent Solutions, our high-resolution 3D scans of piece parts allow for form measurement down to the µm scale. A form measurement is made by cutting profiles across the 3D part scan data set and those included points are used to gather various form dimensions including radii, angles, slot width, height step and more. With our 3D Metrology Services, we’re able to offer our customers in-depth, non-contact measurements of almost any shape, size, and form.

Below is an example of the form measurement of a precision valve. This is a three step process. The form evaluation and 3D measurements of this component were completed using our MVi5 3D Metrology Center.

Step 1: Capture Data, 10 Million Data Points A close-up, abstract view of a textured surface, possibly fabric or a natural material, rendered in grayscale. The lighting highlights the intricate patterns and the slight sheen of the material, creating a sense of depth and tactile quality. The composition is minimalist, focusing on the form and texture against a stark white background.

Step 2: Extract Critical Data

A 3D rendering of a conical object with a textured, layered base and a smooth, speckled upper section, enclosed within a translucent blue cone.The table displays the results of opening angle tests for two cones. Cone 1 has a target opening angle of 55 degrees and an actual measurement of 57.1 degrees, resulting in a 'PASS'. Cone 2 has a target opening angle of 60 degrees and an actual measurement of 58.6 degrees, also resulting in a 'PASS'.

Step 3: Generate 3D Model

A 3D rendering of a blue, bell-shaped object with concentric rings. The object has a smooth, matte finish and appears to be made of a solid material. The top portion is conical, tapering to a rounded point, while the base flares out widely.
