What will David O’Connor discuss at the OGP UK Metrology Day?
With a background in industrial design, product design, development, product life cycle development, reverse engineering and rapid prototyping, David has 20+ years of application expertise making him well-placed to discuss how 3D laser scanning can offer benefits far beyond final inspection.
With a wide range of engineering experience from GD&T to CAD/CAM; metrology to CNC machining, David can uncover the full and unique benefits of ShapeGrabber technology for multiple applications.
- How ShapeGrabber 3D scanning can be applied to the unique challenges faced in inspection, quality control and reverse engineering
- How ShapeGrabber can help quantify, visualise and reduce variation and errors
- How 3D scan data is used to verify, not only individual parts, but also to verify the manufacturing process for many parts.
- The benefits beyond precision, and how speed is a factor with data acquisition at a rate of up to 1.5 million points per second.
