3D scanning - an invention made for the nuclear sector
Since the early 1990s, laser scanning has been perceived as an obvious solution for the restriction of individual dosimetry, by the assignment of measuring functions in zones of ionizing radiation to an accurate and high-speed device with a facility for remote control.
This was one of the first major applications of this revolutionary technology.
In the interim, advances in speed of measurement and the ease of handling of scanners have proved to be competitive factors, whether for the surveying of turbine halls or the core of the nuclear building.
APPLICATIONS
- Kinematics for the movement of equipment in situ
- Conformity control of a new installation
- Creation of an equipment data bases
