With the multiplicity of measurement principles and 3-D digitizing hardware, it is often not an easy task for manufacturers to evaluate which hardware technology will best meet their 3-D metrology needs. InnovMetric Software now offers a new 3-D Metrology Hardware Review section on its corporate website to guide end-users in their selection of 3-D digitizing technology. Prepared with the collaboration of the 3-D Imaging and Modeling Metrology Group of the National Research Council of Canada, the new section:
• Surveys the most used, high-density noncontact digitizing technologies, including their principles, characteristics, and key advantages and disadvantages
• Highlights the difference between the digitizing technology itself and the mechanical, optical, or algorithmic 3-D monitoring method used to move the 3-D digitizer around a part to fully capture its geometry (also called “external
frame of reference” or EFR)
• Presents graphs illustrating the performance of 3-D digitizing technologies and EFR methods in terms of accuracy, volume, flexibility, dynamic range, resolution, and portability
• Provides useful advice when benchmarking hardware
