More than 10 years ago, the automotive industry was the driving force for the development of the ATOS full-field digitizing systems. These systems were utilized to capture form information from cars and components for the reverse engineering process to generate CAD models.

Today, the ATOS is used for many industrial measuring applications. Inspection, root cause analysis and quality assurance of sheet metal stampings, machined and formed parts, composite lay-ups, assemblies, interiors and entire vehicles and aircraft are typical applications in the automotive, aerospace and consumer sectors. Other high return on investment areas are prototyping, mold making, tool making, injection molding, die-casting, precision casting, and blow molding applications.
