In the automotive industry, GOM systems are used during the entire new product development process. In product development, measuring data provide information from crash and fatigue tests, climate chambers, wind tunnels and tire test rigs about material characteristics and part behavior. The results influence the simulation and construction. In the quality control, which is becoming increasingly automated, the full-field geometry acquisition by 3D scanning provides the data basis to inspect forms and tools, castings, plastic and sheet metal parts as well as assemblies and complete car bodies.
