Our Zeiss Vista CMM with Calypso software can use your solid model
for fully automated inspection of your parts. Our staff is fully
trained in the use of inspection microscopes up to 100X, comparators,

We
machined the spherical portion of this sculpture. It is an 8"
sphere with 3 ripple patterns evenly spaced on the surface.
The sphere is magnetically levitated above the base. It was
produced for the sculptor Tom Shannon, who was commissioned
by the TED
Community. The sculpture was presented as an award
to three outstanding individuals in the areas of technology,
entertainment, and design. The entertainer who received the
award this year was Bono of U2 for his humanitarian efforts
in Africa.
