In today’s world, most manufacturing design is done digitally. Yet, the inspection of these designs is still done by physically determining an object’s dimensions with a CMM system. This system allows errors to go undetected and ultimately the product could fail inspection.

CAI is the alternative way to inspect a product. Working together with CAD, CAI is a faster and easier process for comparing products to their digital counterpart. Using 3D laser scanning, the product can be 3D inspected, and surfaced to compare the physical part to the design with the use of a color map and point clouds. Producing point clouds gives the ability to measure everywhere instead of being limited to certain parts on a drawing.
