What is CMM Scanning Inspection?
A 3D laser scanner is a measuring device placed on a fixed or portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) that analyzes data by collecting point clouds from real-world objects or the environment. Shape, contours, dimensions, and many other details are scanned by the device and stored in various software programs to ultimately create a 3D digital computer-aided design (CAD) model for purposes such as re-creation, duplication, historical preservation, and most commonly, flaw detection and prevention.
CMM Inspection – How it Works
Using CAD models and blue prints to communicate the geometry of a part and applying Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (ASME and ISO standards), our measurement services can be used on any project, short or long term basis with an on-site or in-house presence. Customers within selected industries such as medical, automotive, aerospace, consumer products, tool makers, industrial design and military are benefiting as a result of CAD-based inspection. ECM has the ability to use non-contact 3D laser scanner as well as scanning touch probes to collect data for CAD-to-part comparison. Equipment and reports are traceable to the National Institute of Standards & Technology.
ECM has an in-house metrology lab which includes a variety of inspection equipment listed below.
