It seems that the subject of 3-D optical surface measurement is all the rage these days.

The science and technology of 3-D measurement has evolved dramatically in recent decades.

Kreon announced the full integration of its range of 3-D laser scanners together with Metrolog X4 i-robot.

Utilizing 3-D digital laser microscopy to image damaged optical media.

There are good reasons why traditional contact measurement machines (CMMs) have been staples in manufacturing’s quality control environments for decades.

Multisensor metrology systems have evolved over the past 20 years to integrate a wide array of sensor techniques—optical, laser, touch-probe, white light and scanning probe.

PolyWorks|Inspector™ is a powerful industrial 3-D metrology software solution that supports all 3D measurement devices: from single point probing devices to high density point cloud digitizers.

The new VR-3000 Series, One-Shot 3-D Measuring Macroscope enables users to instantly perform accurate and repeatable non-contact surface measurements—such as profiling, roughness, curvature - over a wide area.

Hexagon Metrology’s Leica Absolute Tracker AT402, an ultra-portable 3-D Absolute Tracker, can be utilized for fully guided 3-D measurement processes, as well as traditional inspection tasks.
