A compact, movable device utilizes probing systems and sophisticated software to gather precise three-dimensional measurements of physical objects. This technology allows for dimensional inspection and verification directly on the shop floor, in the field, or at a customer’s location, rather than requiring parts to be transported to a dedicated metrology lab. An example application includes inspecting the dimensions of a large fabricated structure on a construction site.
This on-site measurement capability offers significant advantages, including reduced downtime, immediate feedback for quality control, and cost savings associated with part transportation and potential rework. Historically, precise measurements required bulky, stationary equipment. The development of smaller, more robust, and computationally advanced systems has revolutionized quality control processes across industries from aerospace to automotive manufacturing, enabling rapid and accurate assessments in diverse environments.
