Design and development of low cost coordinate measuring equipment

Mechanical Engineering

The aim of our project is to design a low cost coordinate measuring equipment for the collection of coordinates to measure the geometric coordinates of solid model with the use of joystick to obtain point to point distance measurement and dedicated program to collect the 3D cloud points of the solid model for the purpose of inspection and reverse engineering which will be suitable for small model of about 300x300x450 mm dimensions with curved body using distance measuring sensor. In order to do this, a designed rotating table setup for holding the object to be measured and linear motion of distance measuring sensor is made and controlled by stepper motor using Arduino for making the work cost efficient and effective in measuring, inspection and reverse engineering applications.
