For the digital measurement of any shaped body, there is a "GOM - ATOS III" type 3D digitizer available. The system works using fringe pattern. The measuring precision is approx. 0.05 mm depending on the measuring volume.
The application spectrum covers:
Surface feedback after modifications in the creation phase of vehicle contours (e.g. parallel use for wind tunnel measurements on models and real vehicles)
Comparison between virtual and real contours
Generation of surface models for subsequent simulations or for reproducing parts using "rapid prototyping"
