Problem:   In this situation, a 2-Dimensional part print needed to be produced based on the geometry of the physical part. Because the part could not be damaged during the measurement process, a non-destructive form of measurement was needed.

Process:   Because of the high tolerances and critical features, both traditional CMM technologies as well as non-contact laser digitizing were incorporated. Both sets of gathered data were associated together into a common working coordinate system.

Solution:   Planar cross-sections were then cut through the measured data. This provided the needed 2-Dimensional profiles necessary to define all of the features on the part. After fully dimensioning the layout, the product can be exported into any generic CAD format including (.IGS, DXF, DWG, etc..).
