Modern manufacturers are consistently creating parts that are more complex than ever. Intricate, three-dimensional parts with a multitude of features – all with their own critical dimensions – are the norm.
In the past, manufacturers would measure their parts using traditional coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) outfitted with touch probes. Traditional CMMs do provide accurate measurements, but precision manufacturing requires a variety of precision inspection solutions, and today's most precise manufacturers rely on multisensor metrology systems to deliver accuracy for process monitoring and control.
