Translated or Remastered Model Analysis:

· Utilizing the Mirror Model Comparator (MMC), TTI has the unique capability of analyzing translated or remastered models for equivelancy to the original model. The customer can request an analysis tolerance and resolution. The MMC will find any discrepancies greater than the requested tolerance and will display these as a series of points on the translated or remastered model. These points can be measured to any surface or edge. The points can be simply deleted from the model tree once it is fixed or no longer required.
