Implementing a Calibration System
Why talk about calibration system implementation? Isn’t it enough to focus on comparing equipment and software feature lists?

ShapeGrabber Simplifies Measuring Complex Shapes
ShapeGrabber 3D metrology scanners from OGP® accurately verify part dimensions. Regardless of shape complexity, a ShapeGrabber automated 3D scanner captures every surface feature quickly. Graphical models of ShapeGrabber measurements make part quality decisions easy to make without tying up other, slower, single point-at-a-time measuring systems.

The new ShapeGrabber Ai620 3D scanner is a precision, metrology-class 3D scanner for parts up to 600x190mm. Like all ShapeGrabber systems, the Ai620 measures the complete surface of complex shaped plastic, metal, and 3D printed parts in minutes with a high density of data points.

Calibration 101
Gabriel Hughes was once asked to calibrate a 2x4 at a previous job. While this may sound strange, the customer sent it in to have the precise dimensions calibrated. The wood was used to keep a door closed at a certain height, which they needed to monitor because of airflow.

A Calibration Software Solution
Not long ago, IT integration projects were an intimidating task due to the historic number of failed projects. This is not the case today because the technology exists and when combined with proper implementation they are very successful.
