Measurement uncertainty of scan data

Question

What is the measurement uncertainty of the scan data?

Answer

Measurement uncertainty is very often related to the type of geometry being measured. When using a high-density measuring technique, like scanning, a larger feature defined using many points will always provide less uncertainty than a small feature defined by fewer points.

The good news is, since scanning is so fast, it is very easy to do a quick repeatability study on the features of interest to you. Our applications engineers are available to assist you. Please contact your sales representative for more information.
