Patent attributes
Aspects of the present disclosure provide a system for measuring an object, the system including a plurality of frame segments. The frame segments are configured to mechanically couple together to form a frame. The plurality of frame segments includes a plurality of measurement device link segments and each of the plurality of measurement device link segments includes a measurement device which together form a plurality of measurement devices having a field of view within or adjacent to the frame. Each of the plurality of measurement devices is operable to measure three-dimensional (3D) coordinates for a plurality of points on the object. The system further includes a computing device to receive data from the plurality of measurement devices via a network established by the plurality of measurement device link segments.
