Geometric dimensioning of contour profiles and horizontal contours extracted from images is a useful tool in particular in the area of quality control.
In the automotive industry, engineers used Mountains® software to check compliance of components with nominal form.
Mountains® tools used
-
Auto-dimensioning
Dimensions on lines, arcs, circles and angles between intersecting tangents were automatically generated.
-
Graphical display of form deviations
Form deviations from nominal segments and arcs were displayed graphically, together with upper and lower tolerance limits.
Instrument & software used
2D profilometer + MountainsMap® Profile software
