3D scanning is the process of digitally gathering an object’s surface data to determine its shape, enabling users to either replicate the part by reverse-engineering it, or inspect it through dimensional analysis.
Quality is hard to get right, regardless of industry. Many organizations treat quality implementation efforts, such as product quality tracking, to be burdensome but necessary.
As manufacturers are gradually tasked with delivering more output with smaller staffs and producing less scrap along the way, quality will help them sustain growth in a downsized manufacturing environment.
I’ve heard serendipity described as a happy coincidence. For me, it always had a little more meaning to it. It always felt like more than just a coincidence. More like a “meaningful connection.”
Issues in production are inevitable. To ensure that parts meet quality controls and customer requirements, manufacturers must occasionally inspect and adjust their processes.
