The ultrasound probe is the core component of medical examination equipment, and its structural accuracy directly affects the clarity of ultrasound imaging and the accuracy of inspections. The client needs to perform a 3D scan of the probe. On one hand, this helps determine whether the product meets quality standards through 3D inspection, and on the other hand, it provides precise 3D data for future design optimization. Since the probe has lots of detailed surface features and continuous curved surfaces, and the client requires extremely high scanning accuracy, traditional measurement methods can't meet the demand. That's why they chose the HOLON 3D Smart 49 industrial handheld 3D scanner, providing reliable data support for quality control and design upgrades of the ultrasound probe.

Facing problems

The surface of the ultrasound probe is covered with numerous tiny features, and the main body of the probe has a continuous curved structure. The accuracy of these features is directly related to the curvature of the surface, which in turn affects its performance. Traditional measurement tools require manual point-by-point measurement, which is not only inefficient but also prone to operational errors that can distort detailed data and make it hard to capture the exact curvature. Contact measurements might scratch sensitive elements or protective coatings on the probe, damaging its structure and performance. At the same time, traditional optical measurements are easily affected by ambient light, leading to unstable data collection. Clients need complete and precise 3D data for quality assessment and design optimization, but data obtained by traditional methods is hard to rely on, seriously limiting quality control efficiency and design iteration speed.
