Measuring Odd-Shaped Parts with a DCC CMM
This video outlines a cloud of points measurement feature of a portable DCC CMM using built in control software.
The availability of compact, portable direct computer control coordinate measuring machines (DCC CMMs) means designers and manufacturers can now bring automated, accurate, repeatable 3D measurement directly to the engineering room or shop floor. Previously, this measurement could only be completed in a dedicated area or with a less-accurate piece of equipment. One interesting feature is a cloud of points measurement feature for odd-shaped parts.
