Abstract

A non-contact replacement for the manual inspection of wing stringers and channel vents. The goal was complete three-dimensional characterisation of every feature on a part 12 inches by 12 inches by 110 feet, scanned in twenty minutes, accurate to 0.003 inches in all directions – on a factory floor that moves 0.040 inches with the tide.
