Use Results for mating components.

francoattolini
Hello,
At work they gave me the task of finding the way of proove that the measured part will mate another part even before trying this.
We have a whole team working with PC DMIS and the give us the results as reports, but to present to the customer we need to show graphically that the part will mate the mating part.
I use Solidworks and I was thinking on the possibility of importing the results, but maybe there is even the possibility of doing this directly in PC DMIS(?)
So the tasks are:
-to overlay the results form the CMM on top of the STP file or Solidworks model.
-Add the mating part and proove that there are no interferences.

Do you have any ideas?
Thank you very much

  • Thank you for your answers.
    Well sorry I avoid saying that this is for parts that are outside tolerance, we manufacture parts that takes 200hr of machining and several tons of steel, so we is out of tolerance it cost alot to re-machine or ultimatetly to scrap it. Tolerances are well set but so are tight to avoid the worst combination and sometimes is just one dimension out of tolerance and could not be so critical. But as I said the customer wants to see an analisys and graphical is the easiest way of convincing the customer, especially for the thermal expansion conditions.
    I was thinking to lay the points from the CMM into solid works to then make a surface and mate the mating part in nominal max condition and see the clearances.

    Thanks
