3D Profilometer; VR-3200, Keyence

The Keyence VR-3200 is a Wide-Area 3D Measurement System capable of non-contact, high-resolution 3D measurement, specifically for profiles and flat surfaces. It captures full surface data, instead of point or line data typically captured by CMMs or profilometers. The automatic place-and-measure capability allows any user to capture accurate data across the entire surface of their part, with no fixturing or adjustments required.
