Mobile Spatial Coordinate Measuring System (MScMS) and CMMs: A Structured Comparison

In many branches of industry, most of manufacturing efforts are directed toward producing objects of specific forms and dimensions. Dimensional measurement is an important part of the production cycle, to check products compliance with specifications. For this, many substantial improvements in the existing technologies have been made, and new measuring systems have been introduced. This paper briefly introduces a recent measuring system - Mobile Spatial coordinate Measuring System (MScMS) - which is suitable for performing dimensional measurements of large-size objects (dimension on the order of tens of meters).
