"AIAG is the umbrella that the global metrology community worked under to
develop this important metrology interoperability standard, and today's
demonstration showcases the success of that collaboration," said Chuck Koehn,
AIAG acting executive director. Original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) have been generally unable to require compliance to specific standards
because either no standards were in place or no conformance tests existed to
verify compliance to the standard. Companies
that transfer data for dimensional metrology and inspection system operations
will benefit from the use of open standards, such as DML., Kubotek USA today announced that

AIAG's Metrology Interface Specification Could Save Industry Hundreds of Millions of Dollars

"
AIAG's DML specification is a common method to effectively transmit
inspection results information, which addresses the current void of seamless
data exchange in dimensional metrology and inspection system operations.org . KeyCreator combines both the latest in
geometry-based design and modeling technology, and a legacy of success in
helping customers in the design of tooling, complex machinery, fixtures,
molds, dies in a multitude of product development industries including
automotive, aerospace, heavy equipment, sports equipment, medical device, and
many more.

"The flexibility and user-friendliness of KeyCreator were the primary
considerations in our decision to switch design software," said Scott
Phillips, Phoenix's research engineer. The
rapidly expanding product line features the company's unique geometry-based
foundation with direct feature editing(TM) and sophisticated deformation
techniques.

-- that a common global language
specification for metrology system interfaces, called dimensional markup
language (DML), will be released in June. AIAG developed DML in partnership
with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a non-
regulatory agency of the Department of Commerce.
Today's real-time demonstration showcased the robust capability of DML as
well as the I++DME open standard.
The demonstration linked proprietary hardware and software in a live
execution of part inspection -- using touch-trigger probing, scanning, part
alignment, and tool changing -- connecting Wenzel, Xspect Solutions and Zeiss
CMMs with software from LK, Metrologic, Metromec, Tecnomatix, Wilcox
Associates and Zeiss.

The DML specification is only one part of a broader AIAG effort supporting
open interface standards that efficiently communicate metrology information,
helping the automotive industry recover some of the time (up to six months)
and the approximately $600 million it loses annually to build and rebuild
measurement programs for different systems. For example, when our goal is to simply
reduce weight on a part, without affecting its performance, we need to be able
to quickly and easily create different design iterations.

There are an infinite number of regular convex polygons, five regular convex polyhedra, six regular convex polychora, and three regular convex polytopes for all dimensions five or higher.

Weight reduction is
something we can do quite well with the use of advanced composites but the
ability to modify original designs is very important to the overall process.

This
lack of interoperability also severely limits manufacturers' ability to
effectively build and operate measurement systems and often results in extra
time to reprogram dimensional measurement and inspection systems. The demo also successfully transferred part geometry
and feature tolerance information from these software applications to analysis
software from Dimensional Control Systems, Tecnomatix and Mitutoyo.
