CAD to CMM: it's all in the translation
Article Abstract:
An array of new software programs offer manufacturers a process to enable coordinate-measuring machines (CMMs) inspect large fabricated parts and assemblies against the computer-aided-design (CAD) programs. Some of the software programs employ the growingly popular dimensional-measurement-interface standard (DMIS) protocol. Lockheed-Martin's Marietta, GA, plant is using a DMIS-based inspection software named CAMIO.
