3D gauging for forgings: measuring a hot, scaled, uneven part in secondsScale, draft and flash defeat a camera that measures outlines. Measuring height directly, with the datum taken from the part itself, is what makes a forged dimension hold its meaning shift after shift.Read5 min readDESSAR Blog
Vision engineering, written down
Field notes on machine vision, 3D measurement and AI inspection — what we measure, how we prove it repeatable, and what it costs to run on a real line.
