Method for manufacturing and inspecting a factory joint during installation

Abstract: a method () for manufacturing and inspecting a factory joint during installation includes preparing () an initial layer of the factory joint, capturing () and storing () 3d data of an outer surface of the initial layer by using a 3d surface scanner, and preparing () a subsequent layer. 3d data of an outer surface of the subsequent layer is captured and stored. the 3d data is merged by transformation into a common reference system, and the resulting merged 3d model is analyzed to determine shape parameters and/or surface texture parameters. the determined parameters are compared with expected parameters, and if the determined parameters deviate by more than a predetermined tolerance from the expected parameters, a deviation signal is output. the third through eight steps may be repeated until the factory joint is completed.
