The main objective of this research is to identify optimal printing strategies and PLA (polylactic acid) filament materials produce rapid prototype deep drawing tools. Additive 3D technologies have been applied for a long time tools, but the unique in that it uses conventional various reinforced with FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printers. advantage method easy print recycle does not require ...

This paper presents a new Phase Measuring Deflectometry (PMD) method to measure specular object having discontinuous surfaces. A mathematical model is established to directly relate absolute phase and depth, instead of phase and gradient. Based on the model, a hardware measuring system has been set up, which consists of a beam splitter to change the optical path, and two LCD screens to display ...

Conformal radiotherapy (CRT) results in high-precision tumor volume irradiation. In fractioned radiotherapy (FRT), lesions are irradiated in several sessions so that healthy neighbouring tissues are better preserved than when treatment is carried out in one fraction. In the case of intracranial tumors, classical methods of patient positioning in the irradiation machine coordinate system are inv...

The Optical Coordinate Measuring System studied in this paper is based upon the digital Close Range Photogrammetry (CRP) technology. This measuring system is suitable for on-field large-scale measurement because of its wide measuring volume, high precision and great efficiency. From the requirement of on-field large-scale measurement, we analyze the principle of binocular vision and the model o...

The Stewart platform is one of 6-DOF (6 degrees of freedom) parallel mechanism. A parallel mechanism is a mechanism to connect six actuators in parallel between the base and the stage. It is necessary to calibrate the kinematic parameters that compose the mechanism in order to use the parallel mechanism as the coordinate measuring machine. Additionally, it is necessary to estimate the uncertain...

This article describes a new qualification concept for dimensional measurements on optical measuring systems. Using the example of a prototypical multi-scale multi-sensor fringe projection system for production-related inspections of sheet-bulk metal-formed parts, current measuring procedures of the optical system are introduced. Out of the shown procedures’ deficiencies, a new concept is devel...
