Following are articles written by scientific groups using Optimet sensors.

Cultural Heritage
3D Scanning of Artworks (CNR – INOA)
A review of 3D scanning techniques currently adopted in the diagnostics of artworks and paintings; the ConoProbe is used for MicroProfilometry.
A high-precision surface analysis of the roughness of Michelangelo’s David (INOA)
The knowledge of the shape of an artwork is an important element for its study and conservation. Determination of the roughness and its relative characteristic wavelength is shown.

Surface Science
Development of Effective Measurement Method for Burr Geometry (Konkuk University)
Triangulation, conoscopic holography and white light interferometry methods are analyzed and compared for effective measurement of micro burr geometry, which is formed in micro drilling. “For measuring the sharp edges of burr, Conoprobe sensor by conoscopic holography method is recommended by comparing the measurement performance with other non contact measurement methods”.
Abrasive Jet Machining for Edge Generation (University of Michigan)
The edge with a consistent and precise shape is important for highly stressed mechanical components. This study investigates the generation, measurement, and definition of edges.

Tooling
Tool Geometry Measurement System(University of Michigan)
Objectives: To develop a new non-contact 3-D drill geometry measurement system which will measure: drill bit geometry, drill flute cross section profile, drill wear.
Efficient registration for precision inspection of free-form surfaces(University of Michigan)
This paper discusses various techniques that accelerate the registration process and improve the efficiency of the ICP method.

Metallurgy
Novel on-line surface quality control for hot slabs (Arcelor and University of Oviedo)
The prototype developed is able to detect, automatically, two different kinds of defects: surface cracks and inclusions/pores.
On Line Measuring in PM complex Parts by Conoscopic Holography (University of Oviedo)
A measuring method and system that meets the increasing demand for tighter geometrical tolerances and shape defects has been developed. This non-contact method allows on line measuring of complex sintered parts in a precise, fast, robust, flexible and economic way.

Forensics
Superposed Strokes Analysis by Conoscopic Holography as aid for Handwriting Expert (INFM- ROMA)
This paper introduces the use of Conoscopic Holography to analyze the 3D profile of the superposed strokes for graphological and forensic applications.

Laminates and Fiber Reinforced Plastics
Drilling of Fiber-Reinforced Plastics - Tool Modeling and Defect Prediction (California-Berkeley University)
Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been steadily replacing metals as choice engineering materials for various applications. This report discusses a model to analytically estimate the edge defect in drilled FRP laminates.

Miscellaneous
Characterization of detonation wave propagation in lx-17 near the Critical diameter (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories)
A new Detonation Profile Test (DPT) was developed to measure simultaneously the detonation wave breakout profile and the average detonation velocity at the breakout surface.
Dynamic fracture of granular material under quasi-static loading (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
The dynamics of rapid fracturing of heterogeneous grainy media are studied in laboratory experiments.
