What Light Color Should a White-Light-Scanner Use?

Volume 8, Issue 1

Bill Mongon, Juergen Pfeifer, Erik Klaas

This article addresses some aspects of the question, “Why and when should a fringe-projection system for 3D scanning use a particular color of light?” This is opposed to a white-light system, which has been the standard approach for the past decade. We...

Developing a Control Network Crossing a Thermal Boundary: A Wing Jig Case Study with Best Practices

Volume 7, Issue 2

Karl Christensen, Robert Flynn

Large aircraft tooling jigs frequently require a control network to support good tool-building techniques. Such tools typically have steel structural members exposed to widely varying temperatures, sitting on heavy isothermal concrete foundations. A...

Fast Endoscopic Geometry Measurement with Fiber-Based Fringe Projection for Inner Geometries

Volume 7, Issue 2

Christoph Ohrt, Steffen Matthias, Markus Kaestner, Eduard Reithmeier

Structured-light projection is increasingly becoming a universal tool for all kinds of geometric measurements in engineering, mostly because of its advantages in speed and capability to easily adapt to all kinds of free-forming geometries. Starting from...

A Best-Fit Method to Maximize Conformance to Tolerance in Surface Coordinate Metrology

Volume 7, Issue 1

Ahmad Barari

This article discusses that the deviation zone of a profile cannot be computed only by using the Euclidian distances of the discrete measured points from substitute geometry and without considering the desired tolerance zone of the profile. The importance...
