I want to copy the shape of a ready titanium implant abutment to make an exact copy of it in the form of a milled zirconia implant abutment using the SW 4.0 and the Cerec inLab system with a milling chamber MC XL?
I did some similar measurements on titanium and zirconium small pieces by a full-field technique (structured light, or Grey Coded light), that is projecting straight lines whose spatial frequencies may be transduced into geometrical shape. i remember (that was a few years ago, while I was still in activity) that you may easily obtained a resolution of a few nanometers, and even better (order of 0.2 nm) in differential mode.
Thanks a lot for answering my question, I do appreciate it. However, I still don't have a clue on how to do it! Can you explain the technique or refer me to some references where I can find the method to do so.
I have added, for your convenience, the full text of a book chapter describing (in french) some principles and results related to the 3-d measurement by full-field structured light.

Thank you very much indeed for your kind reply. I do really appreciate your help. I've downloaded the chapter and will work on getting an English translation of it so that I can understand the concept and the technique. Even though "je parle un peu francais, mais Je ne peux pas comprendre un chapitre entier".
