We use a Faro Gold Arm computerised measurement device to inspect and measure our SLS prototype components, producing verification paperwork that gets shipped out with the parts. This procedure also applies to the metal parts we produce, giving us a far greater level of accuracy and ability to measure against the original CAD data supplied by our clients. A full inspection report can be crucial in the fast moving environment that is Rapid Prototyping.
The requirement for accurate dimensional data on parts was driven by some of our key customers, including the F1 industry, where there is no window for error during the racing season; data translation and accuracy of final part are critical to their success on the track.
With a measuring capacity of 1.5 metres and accuracy of within +/- 0.1mm, the Faro Arm can be used to measure any shape or geometry. Its proprietary design technology integrates precision encoders to accurately measure the exact position of the probe tip regardless of the user's approach to the measured part or assembly, giving us the capability to undertake batch inspections as we move more towards Rapid Manufacturing.
