3D laser scanning advances tool creation for medical components(04/04/2013)
Laser scanning combined with touch probing on a Nikon Metrology co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM) fits perfectly with additive layer manufacturing (3D printing) practices at French rapid manufacturing service bureau, Applications Additives Avancées (3A). This modern metrology system is the key to reduced lead-times and lower costs in the manufacture of medical, aerospace and other mechanical components.
