Fabrication process development for 3D digitizer calibration surfaces

该公司的合作伙伴，纽迪希亚科技公司，以其创新的3D数字化技术而闻名于世。他们开发并商业化了一个快速的3D数字化平台，连续图像采集速度高达50微秒，比最接近的竞争对手快4000倍。目前，该技术已集成到针对汽车市场的轮胎检测产品中. Nuvid Technology的图像质量现在受到其精确校准数字化仪的能力的限制。如果Nuance能够克服这一限制，他们可以将其市场扩大到100%检测工厂的轮胎激光高精度微加工方法为汽车，制药和医疗保健行业的金属，聚合物，半导体，超硬材料的微制造开辟了广泛的新可能性。这个Engage赠款项目题为“三维数字化仪校准表面的制造工艺开发”，其目的是开发一个高精度的校准参考平面，供Nuquilt校准其三维数字化仪。Meunier.该应用是激光与材料相互作用以及先进材料和纳米材料加工方面的丰富专业知识。该研究项目为加拿大带来经济效益的潜力可能是相当大的，因为它将确立纽科在轮胎和汽车车身密封3D检测方面的领导地位，并将允许他们的技术转移到新的应用领域。

The partner, Numetrix Technologies Inc., is known worldwide for its innovative 3D digitizer technology. Theydeveloped and commercialized a fast 3D digitizer platform with consecutive image acquisition as fast as 50microseconds, about 4000 times quicker than the closest competitor. Currently this technology is integrated inproducts aimed to the automotive market for tire inspection. The image quality of Numetrix Technology is nowlimited by its capacity to calibrate accurately the digitizers. If Numetrix could overcome this limitation, theycould grow their market up to inspect 100% of the tires of a plantLaser high precision micromachining methodology opens wide-range new possibilities in microfabrication ofmetals, polymers, semiconductors, ultrahard materials for automotive, pharmaceutical and healthcareindustries. The aim of this Engage Grants project entitled "Fabrication process development for 3D digitizercalibration surfaces" is to develop a high precision calibration reference plane that Numetrix will use tocalibrate their 3D digitizers.This research and development on laser based technologies will be performed in the Laser Processing andPlasmonics Laboratory (LP2L, Ecole Polytechnique) under supervision of Professor M. Meunier. The applicanthas a vast expertise on laser interaction with materials and processing of advanced materials and nanomaterials.The potential of generating economic benefits to Canada from this research project could be considerable as itwill establish Numetrix in its leader position at 3D inspection of tires and cars body sealing and will allow tomove their technology to a new fields of applications.
