Auto Cmm Programming Using PMI

“The ability to generate optimized CMM programs directly from CAD geometries augmented by semantic PMI represents a dramatic innovation in dimensional quality control. Providing measurement uncertainty data is likewise a vital advance over current practice. Implementation of such capability on the Digital Manufacturing Commons (DMC) will make it accessible to a broad range of users, especially those from smaller manufacturing organizations.”

This automated process links together 3 software systems: MBDVidia from Capvidia, Pundit CMM from Metrosage, and CheckMate from Origin International. The smooth interoperability and automation in this workflow is enabled by the ANSI QIF standard.
