Internal surface measurement of metal powder bed fusion parts (2018)
Journal Article

Recent advances in X-ray computed tomography (XCT) have allowed for measurement resolutions approaching the point where XCT can be used for measuring surface topography. These advances make XCT appealing for measuring hard-to-reach or internal surfac... Read More about Internal surface measurement of metal powder bed fusion parts.

A microscopy approach for in situ inspection of the ?CMM stylus for contamination (2017)
Journal Article

During the µCMM measurement process, contamination gradually builds up on the surface of the stylus tip and affects dimensional accuracy of the measurement. Regular inspection of the stylus for contamination is essential in determining the appropriat... Read More about A microscopy approach for in situ inspection of the ?CMM stylus for contamination.

Optimization of surface measurement for metal additive manufacturing using coherence scanning interferometry (2017)
Journal Article

Surface topography measurement for metal additive manufacturing (AM) is a challenging task for contact and non-contact methods. In this paper, we present an experimental investigation of the use of coherence scanning interferometry (CSI) for measurem...

Development of CO2 snow cleaning for in situ cleaning of µCMM stylus tips (2016)
Journal Article

Contamination adhered to the surface of a µCMM stylus tip compromises the measurement accuracy of the µCMM system, potentially causing dimensional errors that are over ten times larger than the uncertainty of a modern µCMM. In prior work by the autho... Read More about Development of CO2 snow cleaning for in situ cleaning of µCMM stylus tips.

Performance assessment of a new variable stiffness probing system for micro-CMMs (2016)
Journal Article

When designing micro-scale tactile probes, a design trade-off must be made between the stiffness and flexibility of the probing element. The probe must be flexible enough to ensure sensitive parts are not damaged during contact, but it must be stiff...
