Name X

I need to find the profile of a cylinder used for roll forming.
I believe you can create a plane through the center of the cylinder, and then use a point probe.
When the probe passes over the plane, a point is registered.

Any ideas on how to do this, or any alternatives would be greatly appreciated.

I'm wondering what people are doing when the object they scan is shiny, particularly shiny black.

I have been using Rocol Flawfinder Developer spray, which comes in a spray can, and always wipes off easily.

Until yesterday that was, when it destroyed the paint on the parts I was scanning.

I use a FARO Fusion with a V2 Laser Line Probe.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
