Materials engineering, construction, and measurement technology

Fine structures and small changes can be examined and measured by optical / sensor-based systems. This is an important prerequisite for making technical and non-technical progress. The results can be important for the development and assessment of new materials; they can be used for the acquisition of design parameters or entire CAD models from 3D reconstructions; and they are also useful for the analysis of defective prototypes, competitors' devices, or unusual series products. No matter what has to be measured in detail–the structure of a surface, a spatial deformation or the wear on components–precision is always the most important criterion. Often it is even possible to measure without contact and during operation process.

Not only in the small scale, but also in the large one (wind power plants, shipbuilding, etc.) and in unusual measurement tasks, innovative approaches are required. They are partly based on the same technologies, but of course have to be implemented differently. 3D reconstruction is often the key to the desired data. We are at home in this entire spectrum and have always had the right solution–from the measurement quality application to the special measurement on very small or large structures.
