  3. Opportunity: Non-contact scanning for casting dimensional management and control Introduction Bob Voigt, Penn State Non-Contact Dimensional Inspection of Metalcastings & Foundry Patterns Trevor Murko, FARO Scanning & Touch Probe Inspection With Articulated Arm Systems Jay Batema, Hexagon Metrology Final Perspectives Bob Voigt, Penn State

  4. Current Users include…..

  5. ScanningSystems 100 mm 115mm 143mm 33 mm 82mm • Up to 7000points / line • Up to 30 lines / second • 4,000,000 points / second Field of View

  6. Key:User-friendly software to manipulate the point cloud and quickly generate useful dimensional information in both traditional and visual formats

  7. Primary Use: Casting inspection & first article conformance validation

  8. Pattern Scanning • Compare to Casting Drawing • Determine Wear Properties • Create solidification model from actual pattern • Validate shrink rules

  9. Reverse Engineering Surfacing (IGES, STEP) PointCloud Meshing (STL)

  10. Point Cloud to CAM Casting can be scanned and compared to finished drawing. From here, CAM instructions can be created and sent to machines for finishing of part.
