Why is measurement preparation essential in 3D metrology?
In industries where precision is paramount – such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing – measurement forms the bedrock of quality control. But accurate measurement doesn’t begin when tools touch the material; it starts much earlier, with meticulous measurement preparation within manufacturing and design processes.
From Manual Inspection to Digital Control
People always introduce variability. Traditional manual quality inspections are inconsistent, often leading to defects that are expensive to fix and difficult to trace.
