A Paradigm Shift for Inspection: Complementing Traditional CMM with DSSP Innovation
Advances in non-contact measurement technology, processes and techniques have created momentum in the application of digital shape sampling and processing, or DSSP, for driving a competitive advantage for manufacturing in a variety of industries from automotive and aerospace to consumer products. Learn how DSSP, a potentially disruptive technology innovation, complements traditional inspection methodologies without being disruptive, and how inspection is evolving by integrating multiple methodologies to benefit manufacturing productivity and improve product quality to new levels.
DSSP: The Shape of Things to Come: Part 1
DSSP: The Shape of Things to Come: Part 2
By Ping Fu, president and CEO of Geomagic, Inc.
This is a two-part article. During the Discovery STS-114 mission, DSSP gave NASA the ability for the first time to detect, assess, repair and validate a repair in the unpredictable environment of space. As Ping Fu points out, DSSP is a category whose time has come.
The Role of CAI in Competitive Manufacturing: Part 1
The Role of CAI in Competitive Manufacturing: Part 2
by Peter Marks, president of Design Insight, a consultancy for new product development
This is a two-part article. In the first part, Peter Marks looks at the evolution of inspection and CAD within the context of manufacturing trends. The second part examines tools that are beginning to revolutionize the middle-ground between design intent and real-world production.
Computer Inspection Aids Six Sigma Efforts
At the heart of Six Sigma is DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve and control), a systematic process that eliminates unproductive steps, helping companies fulfill the vision of Six Sigma. New computer-aided inspection (CAI) technologies can improve the "measure" and "analyze" part of the DMAIC process.
Computer-Aided Inspection (CAI): A Six Sigma tool for getting closer to zero defects
Six Sigma is a highly disciplined process that focuses on developing and delivering near-perfect products and services. Sigma is a statistical term that measures how far a given process deviates from perfection. The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you can measure how many defects you have in a process, you can systematically figure out how to eliminate them and get as close to zero defects as possible.
