Abstract

The method and system provide a means of inspecting die sets by scanning the core die and the cavity die separately. A special software technique is used to transform both data scans to the same coordinate system or frame in an orientation which simulates die closure. Then methods are used to determined the exact shape of the interior of the die set when closed.
