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 a medical manufacturing test block that was scanned on our MVi5 3D Metrology System. Multiple form measurements were taken along with a difference measurement, to compare the scanned parts back to the 3D nominal CAD/CAM model. Lastly, the fully merged scan was exported as a STL file for import into industry standard CAD/CAM environments.
