(Breuckmann: Meersburg, Germany) -- Breuckmann GmbH, manufacturer of high-value optical systems for contact-free measurement, digitization, and inspection in 3-D, is presenting its comprehensive range of high-performance 3-D scanning systems at Control 2012, the international trade fair for quality assurance, held in Stuttgart, Germany, May 8–11, 2012.

Among the range of Breuckmann’s white-light scanners, in particular the b-INSPECT 3D for the measurement of turbine blades, stands out from the crowd. Even given very demanding surface textures, the b-INSPECT 3D captures entire object geometries in the shortest time periods without the need of preparatory treatment such as spraying or matting (figure 1).
