3D Scanning & Alignment for Large Metrology Applications
Laser Trackers | Portable Arms | Laser Scanners | Total Stations
Objects that cannot be moved easily from their environment or shipped to a service provider to be inspected in a lab are usually referred to as large-scale parts or large-volume objects. 3D scanning of an object allows for converting that object into a digitized computer-aided model. For large inspection applications, a long-range 3D laser scanner or laser tracker is often used to capture large amounts of data in a short period of time. Articulating arms or Portable CMMs as they are often referred to, are extremely useful for large objects with intricate details. Whatever the measurement challenge may be, ECM has the best tool for the job.
Field Services
3D Laser Scanning Services
ECM’s field engineers are available to report directly onsite for short and long-term 3D scanning projects. The ability to bring our expertise directly to your location is what has made ECM an industry leader in metrology services since it’s founding in 2001.
Onsite Scanning Services for Large 3D Measurement Applications
Examples of large volume scan objects would be aircraft, vehicles, yachts or ships, power generation equipment including nuclear plants, large tooling and other load-bearing structures like bridges and buildings. ECM specializes in large-volume 3D laser scanning applications. Our experienced engineers bring the measurement equipment to the job site, stay for as long as it takes to capture the data needed in order to conduct the post-processing and reporting of the data.

Applying 3D Scanning Technology to Geospatial Applications
When considering whether or not to deploy a terrestrial laser scanner, it helps in knowing what has been scanned and what has not. Each available scanner has options to customize scan settings and this versatility allows for project creativity.
Five Factors to Consider When Choosing to Outsource Your Metrology Services
Not everyone understands what it means to outsource metrology services. They don’t know what to expect and who to trust to do the job correctly. Laser scanning, reverse engineering, 3D modeling, or CMM part inspection.
