[Na...] Posted Friday at 04:04 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:04 PM Working on an O-inspect, I have been tasked with finding the surface area of the part in the Image. Each slot and triangle pocket are found using the Curve function 2000 points each, The ID and the OD have curves applied to them as well 2000pts each. Output all the curves using Surface area, then I subtracted all the slots/pockets/ID from the OD. My result was about 3000mm off. I've never used this function before and looking at my report some of the slots have a greater Surface area than the ID. My question: Can someone please explain to me how to go about finding the surface area the correct/better way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ke...] Posted Friday at 04:19 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:19 PM The only insight that I can provide is that the Curve uses center of the stylus ball, rather than the contact points. So, you would probably need to find a way to offset that by 1/2 of your probe diameter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Na...] Posted Friday at 04:44 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 04:44 PM That's a fairly easy thing to do in Calypso for probes, but I'm using the O-inspect (2d optical CMM). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ke...] Posted Friday at 05:10 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:10 PM Is this something you are hoping to do automatically each time a part is run, or as a one off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
