Using structured light to measure and supervise the profile of part milled by CNC machine

Abstract

With the development of science and technology, the optical measurement technique is being interested and widely applied to guarantee measuring speed and minimise errors during the performance. The paper presents a comparison between two methods: structured light scanning and coordinate measuring machine (CMM) for CNC milled parts. The result has shown that the structured light scanning technique could be a good application for checking the complex shape parts with high measuring speed on the machining process.
