The global 3D metrology market size is expected to reach USD 19.51 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing adoption of 3D data in numerous industries is boosting demand for 3D metrology systems. To enhance product development and uphold quality standards, precise measurement and analysis are crucial in several industries, including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, heavy machinery, energy and power, and medical.
Advancements in imaging technologies, such as high-resolution cameras, structured light systems, laser scanners, and computed tomography (CT), have been integrated into 3D metrology systems through R&D efforts. For instance, in February 2024, New Scale Robotics introduced a new metrology solution that allows users to automate small-part measurement using collaborative robots (cobots), showcasing the integration of advanced imaging technology into metrology systems for precise quality control in various industrial and manufacturing applications.
Companies that provide services for electronic manufacturing are increasingly concentrating on boosting production speed while upholding strict quality standards.3D metrology systems enable these companies to streamline their manufacturing processes and ensure precision in their products. For instance, Intertek's 3D Metrology Services utilize cutting-edge technology to provide accurate and precise 3D measurement data crucial for success in product manufacturing across industries like aerospace, automotive, casting, medical, and oil & gas.
R&D investments play a major role in the ongoing development of 3D metrology technology. Enhancing the accuracy of 3D metrology systems is the primary goal of research and development. Experts have further enhanced the overall measurement accuracy of these systems by creating more precise sensors, advanced algorithms, and standardizing techniques. Through the development of robotic systems, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, machine learning techniques, and IoT connectivity, researchers have enabled seamless integration of 3D metrology into smart manufacturing workflows.
