This unit is specific to software for Dimensional Metrology, centred in lessons and exercises taken from Multi-Sensor Massive Measurement, or M3, which is the solution developed by Innovalia Metrology for this purpose. Basic-to-medium competence will be given about the utilization and resources of this platform, including Alignment of different coordinate systems, dimension measuring from point clouds and report visualization and interpretation.
This Element focuses on software which is specific to visualize results and tolerances of measurements taken by Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) (with both contact probes or optical scanners based on laser triangulation) through the example given by M3, the metrological interface and data processing solution by Innovalia Metrology. Management of M3 is acknowledged here: how to import, export and edit point clouds, the way to calculate dimensional tolerances, how to visualize reports and statistics, and even the way to align the reference system with a CNC system, a feature that permits to interact with, for example, a machine tool.
