How MetMax works

When the CAD data set for a component is loaded and aligned, operators can use a simple mouse click to select which GD&T or PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) parameters to measure. MetMaX automatically configures the ideal measurement strategy for an optimized 3D measurement of the part. The software automatically calculates probing directions, tilt, rotation angles, and offset paths in XYZ. Before the measurement starts, a virtual simulation ensures a collision-free measurement sequence. The measurement is initiated by the operator with a click and is fully automated. After the 3D measurement is finished, the data is automatically analyzed. If, for example, shape deviations have to be checked, the µCMM equipped with the MetMaX software chooses which geometric shape (cylinder, plane, sphere, etc.) should be adapted.
