With their repeatable accuracy and programmability, coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) have universally been known as the ultimate dimensional measurement and inspection equipment by using contact probing to deliver single point by point sparse measurement data. However, 3D scanning is widely accepted as an effective, accurate, and fast way to collect and analyze measurement data.

When you think about your daily life the topic of dimensional inspection will likely never come up. In fact, many people could go through their lives not understanding how dimensional inspection works, let alone how it fits into almost every aspect of their daily lives through the products they use.

California State University, Fullerton’s Formula SAE chapter is back from their brief break to build another beast of a race car. Using IIA 3D scanning expertise to aid them, the team enters into their 3rd year in the challenging Formula SAE competition which encompasses designing, building, and competing a mini-formula style race car that will be evaluated for its potential as a production item.

Accuracy and speed don’t always go hand in hand, yet often, in Aerospace and Defense, both are required. When the challenge is to reverse engineer a complex part and produce an accurate CAD model, the right 3D scanning technology can provide both speed and precision.
