Why is my milled thin insert larger than the construction?

, , , , , , ,

Problem:
You design an inlay and reduce the material thickness very much because you want to have a thin/flat inlay.
After milling, however, you now realise that the insert is larger than the insert you designed.

Cause of the problem:

The milling head cuts out a rim around the insert. This edge is as wide as the circumference of the milling head.
In the following pictures you can see the same inlay milled twice. Once with a material thickness of 1mm (start and end of the insert are marked with a blue line) and once with a material thickness of 10mm. The difference becomes clear here

Problem solution:

Do not cut out the inlay directly on the edge of the milling block, but on the inside of the milling head.

Control option:

Design the inlay once with a higher material thickness and mill out this inlay once as a test. If the inlay fits this time, then you have simply cut out the inlay a little too generously.

Change the order of the modules/dialogues

From version 7.3, the order of the individual discs in the GP shop can be changed.

Fixed are start page (window_1), customer page (window_2), print (window_14) and order (window_15). All other pages can be arranged individually in the following ini:

GP_TP_Branch.ini

[MODULE_WINDOW_FLOW]
MODULE_WINDOW_1 = BRANCH_HOME
MODULE_WINDOW_2 = BRANCH_ORDER
MODULE_WINDOW_3 = PHOTO_RECIPE
MODULE_WINDOW_4 = 3DSCAN_3DSCANF
MODULE_WINDOW_5 = PHOTO_VIDEO
MODULE_WINDOW_6 = DV_MULTISENS
MODULE_WINDOW_7 = DV_BALANCE
MODULE_WINDOW_8 = 2DSCAN_FUSSSCAN
MODULE_WINDOW_9 = 2DSCAN_TRITTSCAN
MODULE_WINDOW_10 = PHOTO_PHOTOS
MODULE_WINDOW_11 = INSERT_ARTICLE
MODULE_WINDOW_12 = INSOLE_SHOES
MODULE_WINDOW_13 = BRANCH_EXTRAS
MODULE_WINDOW_14 = PRINT_BRANCH
MODULE_WINDOW_15 = SEND_BRANCH

No further without printing

From version 7.3, you can set whether or not a printout must be made in the GP shop. The corresponding parameter can be found here:

GP_TP_Branch.ini

[Print]
B_Check_Print = yes // yes = it only continues after a printout, no = the next page is also reached without a printout

How do I scan a footfall foam with the laser scanner? - Video tutorial

, , , , , ,

Summary:

  • With the F2 laser scanner, you can digitise footfall foams
  • you can then use the measurement in the GP InsoleCad module for the insole design
  • What is the optimum impact foam?
    • 4 cm deep, pink tread foam is used
    • it is advisable to work with cling film when taking the impression
    • Position the foot in the centre of the step foam
    • Partially or fully loaded
    • Press away unwanted undercuts with your finger on the tread foam
  • How do I make a good measurement?
    • When measuring, the heel of the step foam must point towards the go-tec logo
    • the impact foam must lie flat on the scanner
    • the inlet must be centred on the scan surface
    • Avoid unwanted finger impressions or similar in the tread foam, or tape over them

What do I need to consider when scanning feet with a laser scanner? - Video instruction

Summary:

  • With the F2 laser scanner, you can capture the plantar foot shape directly in 3 dimensions in the GP LaserScan module. You can also digitise impact foams.
  • The measurements can then be used in our CAD modules.
  • The measurements can be carried out partially or fully loaded
  • The following points must be observed:
    • Position the foot in the centre
    • Toes must point in the direction of the go-tec logo
    • Roll up your trousers
    • Take off your socks
    • The scanner window must not mist up
    • No other objects in the vicinity of the scanning area during the scanning process
  • Choice of location
    • Do not place directly next to the window
    • No direct lighting from above
    • No mirrors in the immediate vicinity

 

 

 

Licence not found - Software Dongle missing

Problem description:

If you open the GP FootMess3D module and want to start the measurement process with the full foot scanner, the following message appears:

This means that either the dongle for the scanner is not connected to the PC or it is not recognised.

 

Solution:

Make sure that this dongle is connected to your PC via a USB port:

Under Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items -> Devices and Printers, the dongle should appear as "SuperDog".

If the dongle does not appear there, please plug it into another USB port.

How do I calibrate the screen for 1:1 display?

Open the GP Admin module

and click on "Calibrate screen"

A window will now open in which you must select whether you want to align the square shown there to 10x10cm, 20x20cm or 30x30cm. Once you have decided on a size, drag the window in length and width so that the square (circled in blue) has these dimensions. Use a ruler, tape measure or folding rule held up to the screen. When the dimensions match, click on the [Apply calibration] button.

Close the GP Manager and restart it. Only then will the calibration be accepted.

 

Bluetooth dongle and internal Bluetooth from PC

Problem description:

If your computer has internal Bluetooth, problems may occur if you also want to use the Bluetooth dongle supplied. As a rule, the device manager will then indicate that there is a problem with the Bluetooth dongle and the pressure measuring plate cannot be connected to the computer.

Problem solution:

You can also connect your pressure measuring plate to the internal Bluetooth of your computer. You then do not need a dongle.
Follow the instructions when establishing the connection between the measuring plate and the computer: Re-establish lost Bluetooth connection
