Abstract:
A system and method of determining 3D coordinates of an object is provided. The method includes determining a first set of 3D coordinates for a plurality of points on the object with a structured light scanner. An inspection plan is determined for the object, which includes features to be inspected with a remote probe. The points are mapped onto a CAD model. The features are identified on the plurality of points mapped onto a CAD model. A visible light is projected with the scanner proximate a first feature of the features. A sensor is contacted on the remote probe to at least one first point on the first feature on the object. A first position and orientation of the remote probe are determined with the scanner. A second set of 3D coordinates of the at least one first point are determined on the first feature on the object.
