In 3D measurement using strip light, a line grid is projected onto the measurement object with a projector and deformed by the object geometry. The resulting deviation from the ideal line is recorded by two stereo cameras and the individual 3D coordinates are then calculated using a triangulation process. In order to fully capture a measurement object, it is often necessary to link several scans. This is usually done by applying additional marks or using the “best-fit” method.

What results does the optical 3D measurement deliver?
STL or CAD data
We convert 3D scan data (STL) into high-quality CAD models using the reverse engineering process. And this means that they can be used for design purposes or CNC production .
Metrological evaluation
3D scan data work perfectly for quality control and analysis . As a result, we deliver a measurement report as a color comparison against CAD or a dimensional check according to the drawing .
High-precision 3D measurement technology
3D Scanworks relies on optical 3D metrology. The 3D scanner delivers perfect 3D scans in no time.
The high data quality is particularly evident in the precise representation of the smallest details and the finest radii. Besides, transparent and shiny surfaces can also be captured very well by the powerful light source.
In addition, the sensor constantly monitors itself during the 3D measurement and indicates when a new calibration is necessary.
Advantages of optical 3D measurement by 3D Scanworks
As a 3D scan service provider, we offer you the complete solution for optical 3D measurement of any component size, not only scanners. All forms and materials as well as external and internal geometries.
In addition, our robust 3D scanner is mobile and can therefore work on site at short notice.
