(ASTM: West Conshohocken, PA) -- Three-dimensional image system technology is now used in a wide variety of industries, including construction, mapping, manufacturing, mining, and forensics. For all of these industries, safe usage of 3-D imaging equipment is a top priority. However, until the approval of a new ASTM International standard, no safety guidelines specifically oriented toward 3-D image system technology existed.

The ASTM standard that fills this safety gap, ASTM E2641, “Practice for Best Practices for Safe Application of 3-D Imaging Technology,” was developed by subcommittee E57.03 on guidelines, part of ASTM International’s committee E57 on 3-D imaging systems.
