Optical metrology with 3D camera technology today represents a reliable and highly precise alternative to the established tactile methods. In addition to many advantages, such as inspection speed and wear-free operation, they open up interesting application possibilities, as they can be used on almost all materials and are also suitable for sensitive surfaces. In this session, we will give you a short insight into different approaches for capturing 3D data for measurement and inspection applications. Additionally, the requirements and limitations will be briefly covered. See for yourself how universally the Ensenso camera technology can be used in a wide range of applications and why it can show its strengths in 3D measurement technology in particular.
