A program that measures the print, not one that runs
Programming covers PC-DMIS, Calypso, MODUS, CAMIO, PolyWorks and Quindos, offline or on the machine, built from GD&T on the drawing or model.
Datum structure, alignment strategy, fixture and feature access, probe and stylus selection and qualification, and scanning versus discrete-point sampling are decided before code is written, not after a program fails to repeat.
What programming covers
First article and PPAP reporting depend on a program built to the datum scheme on the drawing, not to whatever surface is easiest to touch first.
- 01
GD&T interpretation
Datum structure and alignment strategy taken directly from print or model.
- 02
Fixture and feature strategy
Access planning for composite and sheet-metal form checks and assembly tooling.
- 03
Probe and stylus selection
Configuration and qualification matched to feature size and access.
- 04
Scanning vs. discrete-point
Sampling strategy selected for form checks versus dimensional callouts.
- 05
Reporting output
Output formatted for first article inspection to AS9102 and PPAP submission.
Program development sequence
- 01
Print review
GD&T, datum scheme and tolerance callouts reviewed before CAD import.
- 02
Strategy build
Alignment, fixturing, probe and stylus strategy set for the feature set.
- 03
Offline programming
Program built offline against the model where the platform supports it.
- 04
Proveout and report format
Program run and proved out, output formatted for the required report.
