CADCOMPARISON
The Aberlink CAD Comparison software module enhances Aberlink 3D with the capability to measure (compare) surfaces directly to a CAD model of the part - often the only way to measure complex parts.
Powerful alignment routines allow the CAD model to be used to create a best-fit datum, and colour report templates provide the output formats required to analyse complex surfaces. read more
