However, coming up with innovative product features is not enough to create a competitive advantage and certainly not enough to deter competitors from copying a product. This is one reason why an increasing number of companies are focusing instead on bringing innovation to their manufacturing processes.

3-D scanners can be a definite asset when improving processes. They can be used during the prototype and design phases, and they can ensure quality control on the production line. To this end, it makes sense to compare the different types of scanners on the market and choose the best one for your company’s needs. Based on the evolution of 3-D measurement devices, there are three major factors that define the quality level of a 3-D laser scanning system:
1. Density of measurement (from point probing to high-density 3-D scanning)
2. Portability and ease of use
3. Accuracy
