Device for flexible detection of the geometric shape of objects by means of optical 3D measuring technology

A device for determining a geometrical shape of a measurement object, comprising:

• an areally operating 3D sensor;
• an object carrier for fixing the measurement object within a viewing field of said 3D sensor, said object carrier being mounted for manually guided adjustment about a plurality of axes selected from the group of linear axes and rotation axes by way of an adjusting device;
• said adjusting device including position sensors for outputting signals relating to a position thereof;
• a computer connected to said 3D sensor and to said position sensors of said adjusting device, said computer being programmed with software to:
• calculate the relative position of the measurement object from the position signals of the position sensors and from positions of the plurality of axes relative to said 3D sensor;
• and
• combine measurements received from said 3D sensor, for determining the geometrical shape of the measurement object.
