WHY YOU NEED 3D – EASILY INSPECT LOW CONTRAST OBJECTS

 

Unlike 2D intensity imaging, 3D is contrast invariant. This means shape is measured regardless of surface color––making 3D ideal for measuring low contrast objects. In addition, with 3D you don’t have to worry about ambient lighting or shadows affecting your scan results.
