MU Form Furniture Design is an Oakland-based company that designs, manufactures, and distributes furniture products for the modern home and business. To produce a new original piece of furniture, the company would normally ship a physical prototype model to a factory overseas so they reverse engineer the model by using a router duplicator to create a wood mold.
Learn how the furniture manufacturer change its design process using the Artec 3D scanners to boost productivity, save time, and cut costs on prototyping.

Portable CMM is a device for collecting surface geometry measurements of an object. When we’re talking about portable CMMs usually what comes to mind is the type that uses a measuring arm, also called an articulating arm. This article answers common questions including:
KARBON delivers accurate measurements using a contact probe for reverse engineering and quality control applications. Simply set up the dual camera head system on the tripod and start taking measurements of physical parts with the stylus. The hardware is lightweight and portable (12 lbs) so you can take it anywhere for all your measurement needs—on the shop floor or on the production floor.
The advent of 3D technologies has opened a whole new realm of possibilities when it comes to designing products. 3D scanning in particular has many benefits for product development. And while in the past, the process of obtaining a 3D scan was difficult, today the situation is very different.
This article discusses further on the four benefits to using 3D scanning for design:
