To be able to comply with these requirements and complex tasks, optical methods are adopted in the area of measurement and inspection techniques. With this, even 3D structures can be measured and tested. The 3D sensors of the Breuckmann company, which are based on the patented fringe projection method, provide as high end systems an effective and low-price measurement and quality inspection. The characteristic features are: High resolution and accuracy Fast data acquisition Reliable data analysis High information density and high flexibility Today topometric methods on basis of the fringe projection technique are adopted for the non-contacting optical acquisition of complex 3D structures of many technical, medical and cultural areas. For more than two decades the Breuckmann company from Meersburg is an innovative outrider and a leader in system and device manufacturing. The technical application field of the wide diversified product palette comprises different tasks such as surface inspection of metal components, digitisation of tools, contour inspection of serial components, die contour assignment of design models, die deformation analysis of gears and so on.
