Quality Control of Injection-Molded Parts
Measuring Systems: ATOS
Keywords: Optical 3D measuring technology, mold try-out, first article inspection, form and dimension inspection of plastic parts, production control, warpage & shrinkage analysis, material thickness inspection, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
The ATOS 3D scanner, measuring full-field surfaces, is used in the injection-molding and plastic-processing industry all over the world for shape and dimension inspection. The evaluation of injection-molded parts using the 3D full-field color deviation plot is considerably faster and more efficient compared to conventional measuring methods. In particular, warpage and shrinkage of parts are quickly and clearly displayed speeding up mold try-out and production control.

Computer Aided Verification of Mobile Phone Components
Measuring Systems: ATOS
Keywords: Time to market, clips and surfaces
This first article dimensional inspection defines the start of the production and is the benchmark for the quality of the parts produced in volumes. Therefore, it is a very critical process for both the supplier and the ordering party just before the mass production starts and the new model will be released to the market.

3D Digitizing of a Die-Cast Mold for a Protective Mask
Measuring Systems: ATOS, TRITOP
Keywords: Assemblies, Tools and parts
The protective mask consists of a single part with integrated fixings, sealing membranes and filter supports. This requires a very complex die-cast mold. The 3D data of the entire tool including all inserts have to be recorded in the workshop next to the injection press during an intended maintenance period of 5 hours.
