March 6, 2019 - A new case study with ADAC Automotive has been published. ADAC Automotive first opened its doors in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1975. Back then, the small company was known as ADAC Plastics. Today, ADAC Automotive is a tier-one automotive supplier that focuses on the production of vehicle entry systems, exterior and interior door handles, exterior trim and exterior mirrors for the global automotive market. In 2014, ADAC decided to explore 3D metrology systems - "[Adopting the ATOS 3D scanners] has been quite the shift... The 3D scanner has evolved from being a tool used to help in certain situations to being used every day.” The numbers prove it. In 2014, ADAC scanned 378 parts. In 2017, that number jumped to over 8,000 parts.

3D scanning Quality is one of the most important aspects of manufacturing today. Businesses must be able to trust that the systems they use will do what they need in a timely manner. Consumers place high demands on products and expect brands to live up to them. A reputation for poor quality can break a business by jeopardizing a brand image and consumer trust. This means that businesses must have robust, precise, and scalable quality processes and tools in place to remain competitive.
Computer Aided-Design (CAD) and reverse engineering play a major role in manufacturing, quality, analysis, and research. As industries move towards more advanced, automated, and scalable processes and 3D scanning continues to see a surge in popularity, the importance of CAD and 3D reverse engineering in particular will only increase.
3D scanning is an important part of quality assurance, prototyping, manufacturing, and reverse engineering. The precise 3D blueprints and rapid workflows enabled by light-based non-contact metrology solutions make them an important technology that can have measurable benefits on an organization's bottom line.
The accuracy of measurements can make or break a business delivering physical goods to market or an organization performing critical research. For this reason, it is important that the right measurement or metrology tools and technologies are used.
One popular technology used within the fields of manufacturing, engineering, research and development, quality assurance, and prototyping is GOM Photogrammetry. However, not everyone in the industry is familiar with this powerful technology, so in this article we will provide an introduction to the concept, the benefits, and some common use cases to help you get started.

October 15, 2018 - A new case study with GE Appliances has been published that explains how the GEA team is redefining product development using cutting edge 3D metrology solutions with ATOS, TRITOP, and ScanBox to solve engineering challenges. “It was easy to make the business case to purchase the systems,” said Dave Leone, Director of Dimensional Control for GE Appliances. He noted that his team was instantly able to start driving improvements. Leone views the GOM systems as more than just a stand-in for the traditional CMM. He describes ATOS as a powerful engineering tool.
