Rapid, fully automated 1st part on machine inspection
Master3DGage PCMM for 3D inspection, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and first article inspections. In Services Four Automation's quest to bring to our customers the latest software and hardware, we are pleased to service and support Master3DGage by Verisurf. The new PC-based Master3DGage™ portable CMM system uses precise,3D model-based software to quickly and accurately verify part quality—right on a CNC machine or anywhere else in the manufacturing process.
Just align the part, inspect it, and report. First article inspections that used to take hours or days now take just minutes.
With the Master3DGage™ portable CMM there's no metrology experience needed.

Mastercam X4 is Now Certified for Autodesk Inventor 2011
CNC Software, developer of Mastercam CAD/CAM software, announces that its Mastercam X4 CAD/CAM Software has been certified for Autodesk Inventor 2011 3D mechanical design software by the Autodesk Inventor Certified Applications Program. To be certified, the product must meet certain guidelines and demonstrate a high level of quality as well as compatibility with Autodesk Inventor software. Certification is given only after the product has been tested and approved.
“We are very happy to be certified for Autodesk Inventor 2011. Many Mastercam customers receive Inventor files, so both communities can be assured of the seamless integration between our two products,” says Gary Hargreaves, Director of Business Development for CNC Software. “The flow from design to manufacture becomes easier for both Inventor and Mastercam customers, where the designer can be assured that the part designed in Inventor is precisely the part that is machined with Mastercam. Both companies are working together to provide customers with the best in CAD and CAM software. The Mastercam and Autodesk Inventor integration offers users a way to easily work between the two products and stay ahead of their competition.”
Mastercam X4 has a direct add-in for Autodesk Inventor, a great way to boost productivity. Autodesk Inventor mechanical design software takes engineers beyond 3D to Digital Prototyping by enabling them to design, visualize, and simulate products before they are ever built. Free to the Mastercam and Autodesk communities, Mastercam Direct enables users to open a model in Mastercam while in an Inventor session, and then update toolpaths to reflect changes to the model. Mastercam X4 is able to read in native Inventor files (.IPT and .IAM) for design purposes and toolpath generation.
“Autodesk Inventor software users can import part files and manufacture them quickly using Mastercam X4” says Tim Gray, director of Inventor Product Management at Autodesk. “Having partners, such as Mastercam in the Autodesk Certified Application Program assures users that the same standards of product quality we want for Autodesk Inventor are being extended to the Mastercam suite of solutions.”
