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

  • Option 1, is very best solution:

    In all seriousness, a laser or white light scanner is *far* better suited to this type of project
    This will take far less time and deliver far more data than option 2...

    Option 2, requires many many hours for CMM:
    Make scans across all mating surfaces in two directions.
    If you have an analog scanning probe it will be not too bad, but if you only have a touch-trigger probe you are looking at millions of beeps.

    For BOTH options, the measured data should be exported in IGES format for someone talented with a CAD software to perform the actual fit comparison work.

    PC-DMIS is a metrology software, and metrology is the science of measurement to traceable standards.

    3D fit between mating objects is a more complex task than simple dimensions.
