The product price consists from several items. Time needed for adequate control of product is one of the most significant items, which can get expensive. So it is important, how the measurement strategy (measurement plan) is prepared. Time, which is not used for control of products by 3D measurement machine, is financial loss for company. This article deals with simulation of contact measurement, as a progressive tool, for preparation and creation of measurement plans for 3D coordinate measurement machines. Furthermore, the article deals with factors, that are not taken into account by offline programming during creation of measurement plan. Those can ultimately lead to significant difference between measurement simulation and measurement performed in workspace of measurement machines or CNC machines. This difference can cause serious shortcomings in measurement plans created in offline programming modules.

Each part as a final product and its surface is composed of various geometric elements, although at first glance seem as smooth and shiny. During the manufacturing process, there is a number of influences (e.g. selected manufacturing technology, production process, human factors, the strategy of measurement, scanning speed, shape of the measurement contact tip, temperature, or the surface tension and the like), which hinder the production of component with ideally shaped elements. From the economic and design point of view (in accordance with determined GPS standards), there is necessary fast and accurate analyze and evaluate these elements. Presented article deals with the influence of scanning speed and measuring strategy for assessment of shape deviations.

One of the most best-known characteristic and important requirement of dental implant is made of biomaterials ability to create correct interaction between implant and human body. The most implemented material in manufacturing of dental implants is titanium of different grades of pureness. Since most of the implant surface is in direct contact with bone tissue, shape and integrity of said surface has great influence on the successful osseointegration. Among other characteristics of titanium that predetermine ideal biomaterial, it shows a high mechanical strength making precise machining miniature Increasingly difficult. The article is focused on evaluation of the resulting quality, integrity and characteristics of dental implants surface after machining.
