Influence and compensation of CMM geometric errors on 3D gear measurements

The influence of CMM geometric errors on 3D gear measurements is still unclear as the requirement for a gear measurement standard with ideal geometry cannot be fulfilled. To solve this issue, the authors have proposed and developed a software program named Me2Ge to simulate 3D gear measurements with CMMs. This allows a systematic analysis of how gear deviations are affected by geometric errors of a CMM, and how the influence can be reduced.
