On-machine measurment software for mould and die production May 2006
 
Blum's FormControl allows the measurement of forms on machining centres. The advantage is that quick form control can be carried out directly on the machine tool, eliminating time-consuming resetting of the tool onto a measuring machine and allowing for rework without having to reset the workpiece.

ADIF (Automatic Data Interface) makes measuring results available immediately, there's no faulty manual generation or transfer of measuring programs. The measuring results can be evaluated directly on the screen and then be printed for documentation purposes.
