Scanning Glass and Other Specular Surfaces
by on 2019-06-01

FEATUREGlass enclosures are rapidly becoming the standard in mobile device design such as cell phones, tablets, and watches. This is primarily driven by the larger trend toward 5G connectivity, where use of metal enclosures interfere with signal strength. Glass, shiny metal, and plastics pose a major challenge for quality control inspection as these materials are highly specular and not well-suited to traditional laser measurement technologies.
