Abstract
The paper presents, both in a general context and with applications in the automotive industry, the use of 3D scanning technologies for the analysis and dimensional verification of additive manufactured parts. The study focuses on a component manufactured through additive manufacturing material extrusion process using PLA filament, which was subsequently scanned with a CR-Scan Ferret Pro (Shenzhen Creality 3D Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, China)
The main objective is to compare and evaluate the dimensional differences between the initial virtual model (CAD), the physically printed part, and the model obtained through 3D scanning. This approach highlights the role of 3D scanning in quality control, process optimization, and the identification of dimensional deviations, which are critical aspects especially in the automotive industry, where precision and part conformity are essential.
