Automatic Three-Coordinate Measuring Instrument
-
Hi there everyone!
I´ve been using duet boards for some years now(i already have 3 of them on 3 custom printers).
and i was wondering that technically this machines can be used as a measuring tool.
One of my printers is retired now but, if anyone could give me a hand with the development of the firmware, i could modify it to use it a n automatic three coordinate measuring tool.
What are your thoughts about the idea? -
@ander What are you thinking of?
Something like a 3D scanner with tons of LEDs and a camera?
A Duet MCU won't be able to do the image processing, but it could control the rotary table and the LEDs.Or something simple like a 3D touch probe to find corners of a workpiece (CNC -stuff)

I was referrig to a pretty expensive machine that exist already, they use it to measure acurately. it has a sensor where the extruder would go, and touches the part, for measuring. -
This project sounds similar. Measuring the surface of a coin using a duet-controlled machine:
