Results for tag: "Optical Coordinate Measuring Machine"

Optical Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) are precision devices used to measure the geometry of physical objects by sensing discrete points on the surface of an object with lasers or other optical sensors. Within the context of 3D printing, Optical CMMs are particularly valuable for ensuring the accuracy of printed parts. As the 3D printing industry continues to expand, the demand for precise measurement increases, making Optical CMMs an essential tool for quality control in additive manufacturing. The relationship between Optical CMMs and 3D printing is reciprocal; advanced 3D printing techniques require the precision that Optical CMMs provide, while the data obtained from Optical CMMs can be used to improve and validate 3D printing processes, ensuring that printed products meet design specifications and adhere to strict industry standards. Companies in the Optical Coordinate Measuring Machine market often offer a range of products including portable CMMs, bridge CMMs, and handheld 3D scanners, incorporating advanced software for data analysis. Notable players in this market include Hexagon AB, FARO Technologies, Nikon Metrology, Carl Zeiss AG, KEYENCE Corporation, Mitutoyo Corporation, GOM GmbH (a Zeiss company), and Perceptron Inc. These companies continually innovate to provide solutions that cater to the evolving needs of precision measurement in industries including automotive, aerospace, and medical, where 3D printing applications are on the rise.
