Quality Control
3D scanning for inspection
Engineers and metrology experts from top manufacturing companies that produce everything from automotive parts to medical equipment choose 3D coordinate measuring systems for their submillimeter accuracy, speed, and unbeatable ease of use – even when working with soft materials, objects with complex geometries, or freeform shapes.
Unlike traditional manual and contact-based measuring tools, which are often slow, time-consuming, and difficult to use, Artec scanners can with minimal training be quickly and efficiently used in design inspection, manufacturing control, delivery inspection, and more.
Benefits of 3D Scanning for Quality Inspection
Able to capture millions of points per second, all Artec scanners are incomparably faster than any contact-based measurement tool.
From Micro to Ray II, all our scanners are non-contact, which translates to zero damage or deformation risk to any part you need to measure.
Artec scanners require minimal training, so in less than 2 hours you’ll be ready to begin scanning confidently!
Precise, metrology-grade 3D scans at up to 2 microns’ accuracy.
