The Impact and Benefits of Technological Convergence for NDT 3D Scanner Applications

Presentation Description


In technological development, the trend of integrating multiple different technologies into a single device is known as technological convergence. This approach enhances efficiency, provides a more comprehensive user experience, and creates more versatile products. This trend is evident across various devices and industries, from cars to smartphones. Generally, technological convergence improves the user experience, reduces the expertise required to operate the device, enhances the device's interaction with its environment, and boosts productivity in usage scenarios. This presentation will explore the new opportunities and use cases that this trend unlocks for the NDT market, specifically focusing on the benefits and versatility of this emerging trend for 3D scanner.
