The BDIH Additive Manufacturing focus area was established against the backdrop of the digital transformation of industry, with the aim of helping Basque companies incorporate these technologies into their industrial processes, thereby digitising their workflows to meet the challenges of smart industry in an efficient and sustainable way.

The Basque Country has significant capacities for Additive Manufacturing (AM), as it is known internationally, and therefore an Additive Manufacturing focus area has been established within the Basque Digital Innovation Hub. This technology will enable the industry to offer products with improved performance through more efficient use of resources and raw materials.

This focus area comprises 14 stakeholders from the Basque Science and Technology Network, who collaborate in this field on issues related to diagnosis and experimentation to jointly offer the best service, adapted to the needs of SMEs.

Development of a metrology software focused on pre-scanned items

Metrología Sariki

Metrología Sariki

Use case

 

Metrología Sariki is a part of the Unceta Group and has more than 35 years of experience in the field of measurement and inspection in the industrial environment. Sariki distributes machines from different manufacturers and inspection technologies adapted to the requirements of the market. Moreover, the company carries out turnkey projects in which it offers an integral service ranging from design to maintenance and support of the installations in service. It also develops its own hardware and software, used to offer customised and accurate solutions to its clients.


Need:

Recently, the dimensional measurement industry has been moving towards non-contact inspection, in which a significant volume of information is obtained at very high speed. In this line, Sariki has created its own metrology software called SK/Inspect and aims to develop this innovative technology to be compatible with the scanners available on the market. With the collaboration of the Vicomtech technology centre and its high-performance geometric processing SDK, Geomlib, Sariki has been able to optimise the software algorithms and develop new algorithms that significantly reduce inspection time and allow the installation of the software in extremely high-speed manufacturing processes.

Area of the company where the solution is focused:

Development and implementation of inspection software

Company size:

PYME

Sector:

Metrology

Location:

Elgoibar (Gipuzkoa)

Benefits of the Solution:

  • Increased functionality and potential of SK/Inspect software
  • Algorithm optimisation and verification
  • Progress on software certification by international entities

Incorporated Technologies:

  • Software Development Kit (SDK) Geomlib
  • Meshing operations via GPU
