Abstract

The paper deals with 3D scanning of two (used and unused) ball nose end mills (970L100-TRIBON Φ10x15x125 R0.5 D10) from the manufacturer SECO Jabro Tools. Digitizing was performed at the Centre of Excellence of 5-Axis Machining at Slovak University of Technology in Trnava by an optical 3D scanner ATOS II SO TripleScan, which currently is the newest product line 3D scanner of company GOM. The measuring volume MV38 (38x29x15 mm) was used for digitizing.
The article gives a procedure for digitizing and comparing the results of the scanned digital models of the two ball nose end mills (with emphasis on identifying the cutting edge wear).
