The CAD import Tool is a module of the SAL3D library that allows any user to easily generate a cloud-of-points from a CAD file. The software uses such cloud-of-points as a reference model for comparison with scanned objects obtaining the differences between the real object and this 'golden' virtual representation. Thanks to this technology, no perfect physical model is needed making the development of 3D Quality Assurance projects faster, more cost-effective and more robust.
