3D Optical Profiling in Automotive Manufacturing

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
As developing technologies and regulations affect automobile design, 3D optical profiling offers manufacturers new ways to improve processes and reduce costs.

SAMUEL LESKO, BRUKER NANO SURFACES

The automotive industry has undergone major changes over the past couple of decades because of a combination of internal and external factors that include competitive cost-reduction actions and increased environmental regulations. These factors have fostered widespread innovation in the mass-production automotive industry, and the continuous development of new technologies has, in turn, enabled a clearer understanding of the fine details of how an automobile operates.
