3D Metrology Services – Consumer – Aluminum Can Form Inspection & Comparison to CAD

The team at EDM Intelligent Solutions utilizes unique 3D metrology equipment to quickly and accurately measure components with tight tolerances and intricate geometry, including parts of all shapes and sizes. Evaluation of the inner nose radius and stand diameter of this aluminum beverage can was completed using our Form Measurement services. Everything from comparison to CAD, profile extraction, and measurement of dimensions is possible with a single dataset captured on our RSH-M10 Robotic 3D Metrology System.

Three cylindrical objects, likely exhaust tips, are displayed side-by-side on a dark surface. The object on the left is made of brushed metal with a polished rim. The middle object appears to be a standard aluminum can, viewed from the bottom. The object on the right is a black, glossy exhaust tip with a polished chrome rim.

Punch Surface Comparison to CAD

The image displays two 3D surface analysis visualizations of a circular component, likely a bearing or ring. The left image shows specific measurement points with deviations in inches, ranging from -0.0009 to +0.0014, indicated by colored labels and callouts. A color bar on the right of this image maps these deviations to a spectrum from dark blue (negative, e.g., -0.0010) to red (positive, e.g., +0.0015). The right image presents a more continuous color map of the entire surface, illustrating the overall deviation profile without individual point callouts, using the same color scale. Both images utilize a coordinate system with X, Y, and Z axes indicated, suggesting a precise metrological analysis.

Can Surface Comparison to Nominal Model

This image displays a 3D scan of a manufactured part, likely a component with precise dimensions, presented from two different angles. The color mapping indicates deviations from a nominal design, with green representing areas close to the target dimension, and yellow and red showing positive deviations (larger than nominal), while blue indicates negative deviations (smaller than nominal). Numerous measurement points with their corresponding deviation values in inches (e.g., +0.0056, -0.0034) are overlaid on the surface, providing detailed quality control data. The scale on the right quantifies these deviations, ranging from -0.0200 to +0.0200 inches.

Measurements

X-Axis Profile Inner Nose Radii and Stand Diameter

This image displays a 2D geometric analysis of a component, likely from a CAD or metrology software. It highlights measurements for 'Stand Diameter 1' and two 'Inner Nose Radius' features. The 'Stand Diameter 1' shows nominal and actual values, along with deviations for tangent and center points. 'Inner Nose Radius 1' and 'Inner Nose Radius 2' also present nominal, actual, and deviation values for their radii. The visual representation includes circles and lines indicating the measured features and their relationships, with a coordinate system (X, Y) in the lower left corner.

X-Axis Profile Comparison to Nominal

This image displays a 2D cross-section of a component, likely a part of a mechanical assembly, with overlaid color-coded deviation data. The color bar on the right indicates that the colors represent deviations in inches, ranging from -0.0100 (dark blue) to +0.0100 (dark red). Several points on the profile are annotated with specific deviation values, such as +0.0089, +0.0085, and +0.0067 in the central curved section, suggesting areas of positive deviation (outward bulge or excess material). Other areas show negative deviations, like -0.0054 and -0.0052, indicating inward displacement or material deficit. The overall shape appears to be symmetrical, with deviations concentrated on the inner and outer curved surfaces and the vertical sections. The X and Y axes are also indicated in the bottom left corner.
