3D WORKSHOP 

Caliper Designs, Inc. set out to revolutionize the CMM and inspection world in 1991. We strive to supply excellent, innovative, cost effective inspection products. With a click of the mouse, 3D-WorkShop makes angles, skewed points, lines, distances, radii, perpendicularity, parallelism, cones, spheres, cylinders and all their relationship calculations immediately available.

A good example for illustrating the ease of use and functionality of 3D-WorkShop is the calculation of a bolt hole circle. A bolt hole circle is a circle generated from the centers of other circles. 3D-WorkShop simplifies this process using drag and drop techniques. All you have to do is measure the bolt holes. After the bolt holes are measured, you can select them using normal Windows selection methods, namely Shift + Click to select circles that are adjacent to each other in the feature list, or Control + Click to select circles that are scattered throughout the feature list. After you have selected at least three circles, drag the selection to the circle icon. Instantly you will see a new circle in the feature list that is the resultant circle constructed thought the centers of the selected circles.
You can drag Points to make Lines, Lines to make an Angle, Points to make distances, or really anything that makes sense can be constructed in this manner, including dragging lines into alignments.

TOLERANCE WIZARD - Applies True Position, RFS, LMC, MMC, Linear, and Bilateral tolerances to appropriate feature parameters. Form tolerances are automatically calculated on all mutli-point features.

AUTO-ENTER SCAN - Automatically stores point parameters at preset intervals.
 

COMPATIBILITY - Capable of interfacing to all Coordinate Measuring Machines.
 

MULTIPLE REFERENCE FRAMES - 3D-Workshop can have an unlimited number of alignment frames. Switching between alignment frames is a simple menu selection.

LEVEL ON CYLINDERS - previously measured cylinders can be used to establish a level alignment.
 

LOCKABLE FEATURE DATA - Feature positions can be locked to the alignment frame they were measured in, or allowed to roam as you change from one alignment frames to another.
