Digital measurement extraction of digitized shape

It is important to understand the accuracy and how accurately the 3D scanner captures and digitally extracts measurements from the object. Conducting a calibration accuracy check generally involves comparing the actual measurements of an object and the measurements obtained from taking a 3D scan of the object. 3D inspection software has built-in measurement tools that allow generating points, lines, and planes in a 3D model. Using these entities we can obtain exact measurements of complex models. We use Coordinate tools to generate planes from mesh selection. We can generate a perfectly straight line connecting the two points in the CAD model ( i.e, reference & derived) to extract the measurement. This method finds its application in Reverse engineering, Quality control, Custom fitted garments, Forensic documentation, Orthotics, Plaster casting, Crime scene investigation, Site modeling, and lay-outing.
