Additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, is driving significant change in industrial production. By enabling complex, lightweight, and custom components, AM unlocks design possibilities previously impossible with traditional manufacturing. Yet, these benefits hinge on precise quality control, where 3D scanning becomes indispensable.
