Democratizing the Model-Based Domain from Design to Verification: Automation Generation of Optimizing CMM Programs on the DMC

Abstract

This proposal addresses a capability gap that hampers effective use of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) in the assessment of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD and T) callouts. It presents an opportunity to significantly enhance the value of information acquired, while dramatically reducing costs in terms of time and labor. Currently programming of a CMM for specific part measurement can be a tedious process, most commonly requiring manual input of GD and T specifications, manual stipulation of surface sampling strategies and of many other parameters. It is labor-intensive and prone to errors. Moreover, there is generally no a priori verification of the adequacy of selected sampling strategies or even of the CMM and sensor system targeted for the measurement tasks.
