The in-house quality department of Materialise NV is utilizing the ATOS 3D Digitizing system not only for the geometrical full-field verification of additive manufactured parts. The GOM Touch Probe combines optical 3D freeform measurement and online tactile probing within one system. The live-inspection of single points enables the fast and intuitive online-calibration of fixtures and gauges. Thus the GOM Touch Probe supports Materialise speeding up the calibration of their unique mass customized RapidFit+ process designed fixtures.
In the following, we explain the digitization and direct reproduction (rapid prototype model) of three art objects that were created by the Swiss artist Beatrice Charen. The ATOS system was used to digitize the objects and to process the data to an STL data set. The STL data sets were then used to created precise RP.
