Tolerance-Driven 3D Scanning: A New Approach to Metrology and Reverse Engineering

What if a 3D scanner didn't need to treat every surface of a part as equally important? In modern engineering, the answer is already built into the design. GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) exists to communicate design intent, identifying the dimensions and features that determine whether a component will fit, align, seal and function correctly, [...]
