Computer-aided techniques like CAD, CAM and FEM require an efficient coordinate measuring technique in order to achieve exact correspondence between numerical model and real component.

Using the digitizing system ATOS (Advanced TOpometric Sensor), an object can be measured in a short time and with high local resolution. Each single measurement generates up to 4 million data points. The individual measurements are merged into a project and the measured data can be exported as point clouds, sections or STL-data. Additional hardware, such as mechanical measuring machines, translation units or robots, is not required.

The ATOS II scanners can be set and calibrated from a measuring area of 1.7x1.4 meter down to 45x36 mm (in one view) by the customer, using the certified calibration tools provided by GOM.

Big objects can be accurately digitized using the combined ATOS and TRITOP photogrammetry technology, developed and offered by one supplier
