The versatile role of 3D scanners in foundries
Traditionally, foundries have depended on conventional inspection techniques for dimensional measurements. However, coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) often prove to be slow, creating bottlenecks and leading to production delays. This is where 3D scanning technology comes into play, revolutionizing inspection workflows.
