Problem:   Derive a method to fixture the part without distorting it from the original
shape, thus allowing the laser digitizing equipment to capture the data from multiple orientations for
complete 3-Dimensional coverage.
Process:   The strategy used to fulfill the customer’s needs instituted the use of
laser digitizing measurement technology. For us to attain total 3-Dimensional information, the plastic
component was digitized from various orientations, which were later aligned together into the same
coordinate system.
Solution:   The acquired ‘point-cloud data’ was then aligned to the supplied CAD
model using the proper datum scheme. From this we supplied the customer with images showing any deviation
such as expansion, shrinkage, twist, or flex.
