best analog scan

I am struggling with this particular feature and i am not entirely sure why. I had it scanned 3 times by linear open scans then combined them in a constructed feature set. I dimensioned that as a profile of a surface, but it was not working properly as it was not reflecting the changes made on the cnc machine. I am trying to find the best scan for the notch portion, but i was wanting some input on what the best option would be. the notch diameter is 1mm, so it is fairly small, which may contributing to my struggle.

  • Why can't you do a linear open scan?

    Scanning around that sharp corner you really need to slow the scan speed WAAYYYYY down. Your using a .5 mm probe in a 1mm diameter. How many points is your scan actually picking up? 20-30 depending on your settings? I would get a .3mm ball if I were planning on scanning that. Also time constraints? You cant go in there and probe 3-4 points to feed data back to the machinist? The same tool cuts the entire surface. You should be able to decipher from 4 points on that diameter if the CNC is off in any one direction.
