3D scanner for metrology

3D scanner for metrology

The 3D scanner for metrology has become an essential tool in industrial sectors requiring precise dimensional measurement. Thanks to technological advances, these scanning systems enable fast and reliable quality control while ensuring data traceability.

3D scanner for metrology: precision, performance, and reliability

Traditionally, metrology uses machines and processes with probes to analyze and measure precisely objects. Unfortunately, these methods are intrusive and can damage or leave marks on the object.

With technological and IT innovations, it is now possible to 3D scan an object very precisely and measure its dimensions. You can thus compare a produced part with an original CAD model and verify its compliance.

Inspection of parts with a 3D scanner offers many advantages, including fast processing and execution as well as ease of use with a portable scanner which is very simple and easy to move.

Why use a 3D scanner in metrology?

3D metrology relies on the ability to capture very precise geometric data of a physical object. Metrology 3D scanners are specially designed to provide results with micrometric precision, compliant with industrial standards.

• Non-destructive quality control
• Rapid dimensional inspection
• CAD / real part comparison
• Analysis of deviations and tolerances
• Automation of measurement processes

Scanning technologies for metrology

Metrology 3D scanners can use different technologies:

• Laser triangulation: ideal for very high precision measurements
• Structured light: fast and suitable for complex shapes
• Photogrammetry: useful for large objects

Application areas

The 3D metrology scanner is used in many industrial sectors:

• Aerospace and automotive
• Precision mechanics
• Molding and plastic injection
• Additive manufacturing (3D printing)
• Electronics and micromechanics

How to choose the right 3D scanner for metrology?

The choice depends on several key criteria:

• The required precision for your parts
• The size of the objects to be scanned
• The 3D measurement software used
• The usage conditions (laboratory or workshop)
