Abstract

Measurement of complex shaped parts is of interest in many applications. Complex functional freeform surfaces may have a great influence on the performances of a product. Geometrical deviations in manufacturing can cause waste of large quantities of energy. Testing of parts having freeform surfaces is a key activity during the development of products with better performances. Depending on the workpiece shape, its manufacturing process, and tolerance limits, it is required to measure freeforms densely, for sufficiently high probability to capture crucial regions. This often requires fast measurement processes to keep measurement time feasible low. Fast measurements can be obtained by increasing the speed of acquiring a single point and/or parallelizing this process by acquiring multiple points at the same time. A brief overview of methods with high measurement speed is given. The concept of optical triangulation is discussed in detail, and case study is presented to illustrate an implementation in industry of a dedicated measuring system for high-speed measurement of complex shapes.
