Abstract

Performance verification of 3D optical based scanners is currently a topic of great discussion, since they are ever more used in the industrial manufacturing field for the dimensional verification of components. Among their advantages, there is the capability of acquire large amounts of points in a very short time, regardless the geometrical complexity of the object under measurement. Although, traceability is still critical and the uncertainty assessment conducted using artefacts calibrated through the more traceable Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), is still the most implemented method. In this paper, some of the most interesting geometries used for the performance verification of optical based scanners have been reported, considering the most widespread measuring tasks which require the use of these instruments, both prismatic geometries and freeform shapes.
