From the Space Shuttle to high tech military jets, 3D laser scanning inspection has reached every level of military defense contract inspection. A few years ago, laser technology was instituted to scan the Space Shuttle for potential errors and flaws, allowing difficult-to-inspect areas to be accurately measured and compiled for analysis.
Since then, 3D laser scanning [...]

Laser 3D Scanning Technology Widely Used for Military Defense Contract Inspection
Laser 3D Scanning Technology Accurately Surveys a 3 Dimensional World
Surveyors have worked with 2 dimensional formats for years, but the projects they survey are rarely 2 dimensional. This creates problems in the field when it comes to surveying building projects, pipe lines, or other complicated constructions where 2-d data only shows a segment of the actual construction. Technology, however, gives the surveyor the capacity [...]
Reverse Engineering Enables Safe Replication of Historical Artifacts
Archaeological, historical, antique and other valuable artifacts have vital importance in understanding our past. Their inherent fragility, however, makes modeling difficult, as any handling of the artifact can cause it to erode in quality and value. Through reverse engineering, however, 3D laser scanning makes it possible to compile accurate specifications in order to build complete [...]
A2LA Accreditation is a Must for Contract Inspection
What is a doctor without his or her credentials on the office wall? Who wants a dentist who’s never been to dental school, or a lawyer whose never taken a bar exam? When it comes to services that require intense precision, credentials mean everything, especially when it comes to 3d scanning analysis and contract inspection.
That’s [...]
3D Scanning Assists in All Aspects of Design & Production
Until recently, all engineering and QA had to be done with the full faith and trust of human precision. But if manufacturing teaches anyone anything, it is that “human precision” is not to be trusted – especially where it is the difference between profitability and losing money. The improvement of laser technology and laser imaging [...]
CAD Sheds Light On How Things Work
The most creative and successful mechanical engineers are those that are able to understand how most things work and how they can be improved. A sort of “vocabulary” in the whys of wherefores of design is a logical bridge to creative solutions when it comes to new product design and the improvement of already existing [...]
