CMM Probe vs 3D Scanner — What’s the Difference?
When it comes to dimensional inspection, different measurement methods can serve different purposes.
Measures selected points through physical contact with the component.
Captures surface data without physical contact, providing a broader representation of the component.
And they don't necessarily have to work separately.
A CMM combined with 3D scanning can provide flexibility in choosing the measurement method based on the inspection requirement.
