3D profilometry: next requests from the industrial viewpoint

Optical 3D Profile measurements have seen an increasing use in industry from electronics packaging to turbine engine airfoils. This paper will review a number of industrial applications of optical 3D profilometry, what has been achieved, and where new opportunities may be arising. Based upon the current applications, we will identify some of the key barriers to successful implementation, and what is needed to address these barriers from an industrial perspective. Finally, this paper will suggest some possible development areas that may greatly expand the application and acceptance of 3D profilometry.
