Quality issues that go unresolved throughout the production process can significantly impact a company's bottom line. Therefore, it's important to implement effective quality control processes and tools to reduce what can be a significant cost.
Whether you’re manufacturing your 5 millionth widget or your very first, your QC system is only as good as its operators and those operators are only as good as their tools. But in order to find the correct tool for the job, consider these first.
In this tutorial, we walk through the process of installing Creaform's VXelements software and help connect your account with the Product Manager. Before starting the installation process, first, ensure the system meets the software's requirements. VXelements typically require a Windows-based operating system, a Creaform 3D scanner (or other Creaform product), and sufficient hardware specifications.
Today's 3D scanning technology opens up a new avenue to producing high-quality digital food models, with full-color high-resolution 3D printers able to bring them into physical reality. The first step in developing a 3D printed part is to acquire high-quality image data of the object. The quality of the image data directly affects the efficiency of the workflow process and the realism of the final product. Therefore, choosing the correct 3D scanner is critical.
Creaform has done it again with another great product launched into their portfolio: the HandySCAN 3D|MAX Series. This new scanner focuses on scanning large parts fast without sacrificing accuracy. In this blog, we also cover some updates to the new Creaform Customer Care Packages.
Choosing an inspection software depends on several factors and should be prioritized in a way that’s unique to your organization. When evaluating different software, it's important to consider the unique standards or requirements of your industry, the learning curve of the software, the usefulness of automated tools, scalability as you develop more products, cost or return on investment, and integration with current MES or ERP systems.
When it comes to reverse engineering or using scan data as part of the design process, it is essential to integrate powerful reverse engineering software into your workflow. In this guide, we explore the differences, pros and cons, and considerations between the following solutions: Creaform’s VxModel, Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS, and Geomagic Design X.
If you're thinking about bringing 3D scanning in-house but are unsure what scanner is the best fit for your company's needs, you're in the right place. This guide provides insights into using structured light versus lasers, (including the pros and cons of each), use cases, and questions to consider before buying a 3D scanner.
Designed specifically to address the needs of the most demanding dimensional metrology professionals in the industrial and manufacturing sectors, the HandySCAN BLACK|Elite Limited 3D scanner can tackle any quality control or product development applications where tolerances require increased accuracy while remaining portable and flexible. This new scanner is twice as accurate as the HandySCAN BLACK|Elite, assessed through an ISO 17025 accredited calibration based on VDI/VDE part 3 standard.
