Digital connectivity is a driving feature of our lives. While invaluable in our personal lives, it also has the potential to transform manufacturing processes. In many cases, this has already taken root. But in one area – 3D measurement activities – it has so far not been used to the fullest.
Traditional manufacturing often results in waste of materials and energy due to imprecise measurements. 3D measurement technology enables precise measurement, early issue detection, and process adjustments, reducing waste and costs.
3D laser scanning tools, like laser trackers in general, are helping radically improve the safety of an assortment of vehicles that take to the sky or space.
Today, Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) operations are a significant sub-industry within manufacturing, valued at $656 billion and projected to exceed $800 billion by 2032. MRO involves maintaining machinery, equipment, and systems in optimal condition through repairs and overhauls to extend their operational life.
The aerospace industry is one example of where the marrying of automation and metrology is being adopted to elevate product quality and operational excellence.
The aerospace industry uses automation and metrology to improve product quality and safety. Components require precise measurements for high quality and efficient production.
3D measurement tools offer incredibly precise and accurate measurements. However, using them correctly requires specialized knowledge, and integrating them into current processes can be quite complex.
New certifications and UX upgrades are driving product performance to increase users’ trust in quality control processes while ensuring accurate, attested, 3D measuring performances.
In today’s fast-paced industrial environment, the right support and service can make all the difference between a successful investment and a costly disappointment.
Whether measuring surfaces for household products or surgical implants, surface finish measurement is necessary to optimize key product attributes, ensure safety, and comply with regulatory standards.
