Laser scanning equipment is an essential tool in numerous environments. From engineering applications to medical and structural scans of buildings or historic sites, laser scanners are revered tools of industries that require high-quality, hyper-accurate digital renders of material objects. An example of this can be found in the construction industry, where a 3D laser scanner can produce digital scan data of entire structures with the application engineer being a safe distance away. Integrating laser scanning equipment into your toolkit is easy with expert guidance and service from Exact Metrology. We are excited to help you select and train to use the equipment that will accelerate your business and are here to share 10 important elements of 3D laser scanning equipment.

Precision is crucial in manufacturing settings. Because there are multiple ways to achieve the accuracy necessary to design and manufacture high-quality parts and products, it’s useful to know the differences between industrial measuring systems. There are several differences between CMM and 3D scanners for manufacturing that are beneficial to understand. Moreover, knowing more about measurement technologies will give you insight into ways to enhance your team's workflow, reduce inspection time, and give you greater capability when tighter tolerances are demanded.

Because you invest a lot of time, money, and trust in your equipment, it’s worth knowing exactly what you’re getting. As professionals working alongside those in highly technical industries like manufacturing, aerospace, medical fields, and the energy sector, we know the importance of being able to rely on your machines to do the job to the utmost degree of quality. That’s why deciding on what to purchase in the first place can be daunting, especially when it’s an investment. If you’re looking for an industrial 3D scanner, there are several things to take into account. Whether you are seeking to rent or purchase your own industrial 3D scanner or work with us to create a scan or series of scans, we can tell you what you need to know about selecting the best scanner for your needs.
