Issues in production are inevitable. To ensure that parts meet quality controls and customer requirements, manufacturers must occasionally inspect and adjust their processes.
This is where 3D scanning comes in. This technique is a versatile, flexible, and fast way alternative to the CMM that can remain free for final inspections. Structured-light 3D scanners, for example, measure the three-dimensional shape of an object using a single light source, which projects multiple lines on an object that is measured by cameras. These are alternatives to laser scanners, which produces numerous laser dots on single objects.
