Product Definition:
A 3D Metrology system is a tool that is used to measure the three-dimensional (3D) shape and size of an object. It can be used to measure the dimensions of an object, its surface roughness, and other features. The accuracy and precision of a 3D metrology system can be affected by many factors, including the quality of the optics, the stability of the measuring platform, and environmental conditions. The importance of 3D metrology systems lies in their ability to provide accurate measurements for objects with complex shapes. This information can be used in product design and development, quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC), research and development (R&D), manufacturing processes, etc.
Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM):
Coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a device used for the accurate measurement of three-dimensional positions of objects. It uses optics and sensors to scan the object and provides output in the form of X, Y & Z coordinate values. CMM’s are widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace & defense, medical devices manufacturing among others for quality control purposes.
Optical Digitizer and Scanner (ODS):
An optical digitizer and scanner is a tool that helps to capture and store images of various objects. It's major application areas are in automotive, aerospace & defense, consumer electronics, medical devices manufacturing industries. ODS can be used for 2D or 3D measurement depending on the model purchased.
Application Insights:
The aerospace and defense application segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2017. The growth is attributed to the increasing use of 3D measurement devices and systems in various applications such as component testing, part designing, tooling development, mold making and die casting. In addition, factors such as growing investments by governments in R&D programs related to aircraft manufacturing are expected to drive the demand over the forecast period.
The automotive sector is also anticipated to witness significant growth owing to rising adoption of 3D measurement devices across several applications including body structure analysis & design validation; virtual simulation for aerodynamic flow field; crash test dummies construction; human motion capture study etcetera. Moreover, key players have developed advanced products with enhanced accuracy that are used by OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) for vehicle development purposes leading directly into higher market penetration.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global 3D metrology system market in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period. This can be attributed to increasing R&D activities, high adoption of automation, and presence of major players in this region. Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness a lucrative growth rate over the forecast period owing to rising demand for cost-effective & efficient measurement solutions coupled with growing manufacturing sector especially in China and India.
The European market for 3D metrology system was valued at USD X million in 2017 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 To 2030 owing to presence of major aerospace companies involved with advanced aircraft design & development as well as automotive manufacturers focusing on vehicle design & development processes using coordinate measuring machines (CMM).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for 3D metrology systems from the automotive and aerospace industries due to the need for advanced manufacturing processes and products.
- Growing demand for 3D metrology systems in medical device manufacturing due to the increasing use of 3D printing technology in this sector.
- Rising popularity of additive manufacturing (AM) which is driving the need for better quality control and inspection tools, such as 3D metrology systems.
- Rapid growth in China’s economy which is resulting in an increase in investments in new industrial technologies, including 3D printing and metrology systems.
