Factor develops the VIMAX project with support from IVACE+i
FACTOR Ingeniería y Decoletaje, S.L. has been awarded a grant by the Valencian Institute of Competitiveness and Innovation (IVACE+i) in the 2024 call for “Strategic Cooperation Projects”, within the framework of the Valencian Community European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Program 2021–2027.
The VIMAX project aims to develop a high-precision online metrology device based on state-of-the-art digitizing cameras. This solution will allow parts with very strict tolerances to be verified at the same rate at which they are manufactured, enabling 100% of parts to be checked using the latest technology in artificial vision and data modeling, with manufacturing costs lower than those of systems currently available on the market.
During the first year of the project, the geometries necessary for determining the tolerances and accuracies required in measurements with depth maps and defect visualization with 3D reconstruction were selected, while also making progress in defining the specifications of the 3D cameras for image and data acquisition. The consortium measured the three parts using a touch-trigger metrology machine, obtaining precise measurements of each dimension of the part in order to validate the measurements obtained by vision against an established measurement system such as touch-trigger measurement.
