This white paper explores the increasing need for high-precision metrology in highly regulated industries such as automotive and civil aviation.
In Norway, boatbuilding is built on generations of craftsmanship—but even the most established traditions are evolving. By integrating wireless 3D scanning into the workflow, an 8-meter RIB hull was digitized to unlock a faster, more efficient approach to marine design and engineering.
From alignment and GD&T evaluation to full-field analysis and reporting, SHINING3D Inspect 2026 delivers a more streamlined and modular approach to 3D inspection.
SHINING 3D announces the launch of the OptimScan Q12 HD, a new high-precision 3D inspection scanner designed for industrial metrology applications that require exceptional accuracy, detailed data acquisition, and flexible automation capabilities.
Measuring surface roughness allows metrologists to establish the roughness of a surface for quality control or other purposes. But how exactly is it done?
