With the number of offline and in-process toolsetting options on the rise, developing a way to efficiently utilize this technology can be confusing. Which presetter should we buy? What about the software that’s so often part of these systems—do we really need it?

While suppliers are under more pressure than ever to produce precision parts faster and with less scrap, in-process metrology means manufacturers can detect as soon as possible when a part is going wrong, correcting the issue quickly and saving it from scrap.

Basic trends in modern manufacturing are driving growth in 3D optical metrology. “One is the highly complex and high-tech material that manufacturers are using today. For example, in the aerospace turbine blade market, they simply cannot touch the part like they used to—the surface finish of the material is too readily affected by any kind of contact metrology."

Technology is changing ever more rapidly. Sometimes this means topics learned in engineering or technical school become obsolete. Whole new fields emerge within a few years, so that even those with freshly minted educations suddenly find themselves faced with new challenges.

Modern challenges and insights into the state of CMMs.

By improving efficiency, reducing labor costs, and enhancing product quality, vacuum tables offer aerospace manufacturers a competitive edge in the production of composite parts and adhesive-bonded structures.

Meeting the urgent need for a National Smart Manufacturing Executive Council

Measurement data is an important element of the emerging smart factory. How software provides that data is the key.

Tooling U-SME proves the most helpful training to Iowa’s Rosenboom because employees learn things online that are immediately applicable.

While it seems a relic of the 20th century, today’s DRO provides much more than position readout.
