THREE-DIMENSIONAL MEASURING DEVICE AND METHOD

Abstract:

A system and method for performing noncontact three-dimensional (3D) coordinates. The system including a system includes a noncontact three-dimensional (3D) measuring device operable to measure 3D coordinates of an object. A stage is operable to rotate the object. A mechanical arm is coupled to the 3D measuring device, the mechanical arm being operable to rotate the 3D measuring device in a first arc about a first axis and in a second arc about a second axis, the first arc larger than the second arc.
