Maximizing the Utility of the Artec Metrology Kit
To fully leverage the Artec Metrology Kit, begin with meticulous object preparation by placing targets, reference crosses, and scale bars accurately around the object to ensure they remain fixed relative to it throughout the process. The capture phase involves systematically taking photos from multiple angles to create a comprehensive dome of images around the object, capturing each target multiple times. During processing, import these images into Artec Studio or your preferred photogrammetry software, where the Metrology Kit plugin facilitates the generation of a detailed target cloud. Finally, in the reporting phase, utilize the resultant point cloud data for precise deformation analysis, flatness inspection, and dimensional measurements to inform critical engineering decisions, ensuring optimal outcomes in your projects.
