The requirements for quality assurance have increased with 3D technologies. Previously all major dimensions could be taken from a 2D drawing for tactile measurement which is no longer the case today. Modern 3D drawings include little in the way of explicit dimensions. The curves of the free-form surfaces are almost impossible to verify, using traditional tactile measurement techniques. Wenzel/Xspect Solutions Inc. is providing new advanced 3D measuring technology to solve these measuring issues and their new Shapetracer laser line scanner is quickly becoming a preferred solution.
