Abstract

The following paper describes the possibilities of additive manufacturing technology for small-series production of specialised measurement solutions for research and industry by means of the upgrade of a conventional medium format system camera for the photogrammetric solution ALPA 12 add|metric. Particular attention is paid to the description of the design process as well as to the comparison with the experience from conventionally produced predecessors. The resulting camera yields much better photogrammetric accuracy than previous models.
