This white paper explores the increasing need for high-precision metrology in highly regulated industries such as automotive and civil aviation.
Following the example set by the FIA, M-Sport saw the need to introduce 3D scanning to control the body shell’s accuracy and ensure that the car met regulatory requirements. After all, winning performances often occur by pushing as close to the limit as practical while remaining compliant with regulations. 3D scanning proved to be the technology required to reach this balance.
High-precision measurements, shorter surveying times and the rapid further processing of the data obtained convinced voestalpine Stahl.
Cynthia Coulombe Begin is a renowned Québec painter and artist who started her professional career in 2006 by paying tribute to the aesthetics of the human body. Her first exhibit, Traces corporelles, took place at the Marius-Barbeau Museum and was acclaimed by local art critics.
Measuring surface roughness allows metrologists to establish the roughness of a surface for quality control or other purposes. But how exactly is it done?

The history of the iconic Michigan Central Station reminds us of the story of Detroit. The rail station, first opened in 1913, once symbolized the city’s effervescence with its grand lobby’s never-ending symphony of train arrivals and departures. Starting in the 60s, however, its activities began to decline and the station closed permanently in the late 80s.

Siemens Gamesa was looking for a 3D scanning system to take exact, agile measurements of wind turbines and their components so that they could be analyzed and processed using CAD software. The main goal was to dispense with traditional and inaccurate measuring tools such as tape measures and gauges, in favor of a more agile and precise method.
This blog post aims to guide you through the basic concepts and definitions of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T); more precisely, this includes what GD&T is, how it works, and why it is important to implement GD&T processes. Furthermore, it emphasizes that all of the geometric characteristics and tolerances written on a technical drawing are there for a specific purpose of functionality.

Matroid's deep-learning system comprising of 3D-CNN helps to automatically detect Glaucoma from a single raw Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scan. The results are close to human doctors across heterogeneous datasets and scanning environments.
Beginners might be surprised to find that their 3D scans turn out not as solid 3D models, but as clusters of spatial data points. So what exactly is a point cloud, and what can you do with it?
Flatness is a measure of a surface’s form that indicates whether all of the points along that surface lie in the same plane. Symbolized in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing by a parallelogram, flatness is particularly useful when two surfaces must be assembled together to form a tight seal.
