User CaseValidation of physics-based tool wear modelsTool wear prediction using material physics-based modeling is one of the goals of Third Wave Systems (TWS). The research and development team at TWS is implementing tool wear models into their physics-based machining modeling software to empower their customers to understand and control tool wear and create better quality machined parts. In this effort, the InfiniteFocus G5 universal optical 3D measuring instrument from Bruker Alicona is used to validate tool wear.
 
User CaseQuality assurance of micro gears with optical metrologyIn the ProIQ project, approaches for function-oriented quality assurance of micro gears are being investigated by integrating inline measurement technology. The aim is to adaptively control the hobbing process to increase component quality while reducing scrap. In this project, the µCMM optical coordinate measuring machine from Bruker Alicona comes to use.
