Highly accurate, 3D scanning and Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) are technologies used for capturing precise measurements of objects.
3D scanning uses lasers, structured light, or photogrammetry to create digital models by capturing the shape, texture, and colour of an object’s surface.
CMM, on the other hand, is a device that measures an object’s dimensions by probing it with a mechanical or optical sensor. Primarily used in quality control, CMM ensures parts meet exact specifications by measuring geometrical features accurately.
