Global 3D Metrology Market: Snapshot

The 3D metrology market is growing with the advancement in the automotive industry globally.  It is adopted for the collection of thorough information and for running evaluations. Inspection, castings, measurement, and quality evaluations of multiple tools, assembled plastic and sheet parts, and vehicle bodies, are involved in the 3D metrology. The aviation industry is also boosting the growth in the 3D metrology market. It specifies the technological system used to measure height, length, distance, and a 3D object point. For the analysis of defects in multiple objects and materials, 3D metrology is used. Different hardware and software tools, such as optical digitizer and scanner (ODS), 3D automated optical inspection (AOI), vide measuring machine (VMM), and coordinate measuring machine, is part of this metrology. The system helps convert 2D architectural models into videos and images for the qualitative design, manufacturing procedures, and production workflow. 3D metrology improves outcome while converting the real model into photographs and architectural films. Aerospace, automotive, energy, defense, medical, architecture, and power are some of the key industries that use the 3D metrology market. The automotive industry uses it at the initial stages. The common use includes designing, production, installation (single components and finished products), and automated production lines installation.

3D metrology is used to scan and inspect complex components and creation of the same into digital format. The increased expenditures on R&D of 3D metrology, quality control during goods manufacturing, and increased production demand from electronics manufacturing companies are the factors for the rise in the 3D metrology market. The gradual increase in cloud computing services and growing requirement for industry 4.0 are also providing spaces to players in the 3D metrology market. The need for a lot of money to set up a 3D metrology facility and scarcity of industry experts are constraining the growth in the 3D metrology market.
