3D digitization (scanning) takes place using a measuring arm with a digitizing laser head. If necessary, the digitizing laser head can be replaced by touch probes (balls) and the arm can serve as a hand-held CMM measuring device.
3D digitization (3D scanning) is used to digitize real shapes in order to obtain 3D computer geometry. This can then be used either as a default source of 3D geometry for Reverse Engineering or in the inspection area to compare parts with CAD models.
