Jay Leno and 3D Measuring Technology VIDEO, state of the art

[Ace-Garageguy]

This new tech does NOT require messy spray flattening-agent to be applied to surfaces, as some critics of 3D measuring have cited as a reason owners of vehicles would object to having them scanned. These arms are currently capable of scanning objects as long as 14 meters (apparently, but needs disambiguation).

very interesting, and with the 4 meter (13 feet) arm they can scan a vehicle up to 8 meters (26 feet)

Also that dulling the "to be scanned surface" is no longer required is a big plus, so no more vintage car owners backing off...due to messing with their shiny treasured possession.

14 feet, so small cars only at this point.

if I heard right (with all the static surrounding me), the arm is almost 14 feet, thus if the base (turnpoint) in the middle, one can scan up to almost 28 feet.

Cool..

The info in the video is a little ambiguous, as it states the "total volume" of a scan is 14 meters with the longest arm.

This is actually a nonsensical term, open to interpretation, as 14 meters is NOT a measure of volume, but rather a measure of length. 14 CUBIC meters would have meaning as volume, but as engineers, we can NOT assume anything not specifically stated in correct meaningful units.

I'll be looking into this machine shortly, and will disambiguate the actual capabilities.

Look forward to your report, Bill!.
