Focus on 3D Scanning
 

Welcome to the May newsletter. This month we are focusing on why you should consider 3D scanning and metrology over other methods of inspection as well as reverse engineering. We have also provided an update on events at GOM with regard to current developments in 3D optical metrology.  

And of course we keep you up to date with Joe, our engineer in the East. Please follow his blog to get a feel for his new life in Japan - working, learning and living.

Please follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter and let us know what you would like to see in future newsletters. We can then make sure that we improve the newsletter offering month on month. Thank you to those that have been providing us with feedback so far, your input is much appreciated.

With regards

MCAE User Meeting – Trends in Optical 3D Metrology
 
An Olympic task

 

The two-day meeting focused on optical 3D measurement technology. A GOM lecture opened the event, showing current developments in optical 3D metrology and providing a vision for the future.

The presentations that followed introduced the latest news: A new GOM software version V8 and the ATOS ScanBox 4105 for automated digitizing and inspection, which is the most compact measuring machine of the four existing models, specially designed for automated 3D digitizing and inspection of small and medium-sized parts.

If you would like to book a demonstration of our GOM system (and how it combines with the experience of our Design Engineers) please get in touch

An Engineer in the East
 
Engineer in the East  

Joe, one of our valued employees, has joined our friends and colleagues at our sister company in Japan for a 2 year program of design training. But we're wondering where Joe finds the time to work as he continues to immerse himself in Japanese culture and take up new hobbies. (Just kidding, Joe!)

This month he takes us on a journey into Japan's breathtaking mountains and tells tales of mysterious shrines, wonderful flora and fauna and isolated hikers' cabins.

3000 year old cuneiform

 

This fascinating project was to scan a 3000 year old cuneiform belonging to a leading museum for cultural archiving. From the files produced the museum would then be able to share data with other institutions around the world, as well as explore commercial opportunities with regard to offering replicas.

However, there were two major challenges presented to us; the cuneiform had to stay in situ at the museum and due to its fragile nature no target markers were to be placed on the object. No problem.

Read on to find out how we met the challenges.
