The solution had to be fully automated, reliable in varying environments, and capable of high-volume scanning with traceable accuracy. ### Polyrix Solution After evaluating multiple 3D scanning technologies, Collins selected the [PolyScan XM](https://polyrix.com/polyscan-xm?hsLang=en) — featuring a carbon fiber structure for thermal stability. Integrated into a robotic cell, the scanner performed [full surround scans](https://polyrix.com/technology/surround-scan?hsLang=en) in **under 30 seconds.** Traceable ball bar artifacts enabled continuous health checks to ensure consistent results. ### Outcome - Over **35,000 parts successfully scanned** with NIST-traceable precision (±25 microns) - Fully automated scan-to-machine workflow for adaptive machining - Improved operator safety and reduced exposure to hazardous materials > “Fast, 3D volumetric scans that are NIST-traceable to ±25 microns have made Polyrix scanning solutions the only choice for our aerospace automation initiatives. > > With 35,000 scans of rock-solid precision, Polyrix is driving a paradigm shift in metrology performance, enabling our customers to enhance their products with accuracy and confidence.” ### Get a PDF Case Study in your Inbox [Back to List](https://polyrix.com/blog) [Next Article](https://polyrix.com/blog/transforming-manufacturing-with-screenless-augmented-reality-polyrixs-live.inspection) ## Relevant posts [![](https://polyrix.com/hubfs/The%20Hidden%20Cost%20of%20Sampling.png)](https://polyrix.com/blog/the-hidden-cost-of-sampling-what-happens-when-you-only-inspect-10-of-your-production) [The Hidden Cost of Sampling: What Happens When You Only Inspect 10% of Your Production](https://polyrix.com/blog/the-hidden-cost-of-sampling-what-happens-when-you-only-inspect-10-of-your-production) 12 Aug, 2026 [![PolyScan inline system with engine cradle ](https://polyrix.com/hubfs/Polyrix%20Images/Cropped_XL6_inline_conveyor.png)](https://polyrix.com/blog/motionless-vs-robot-based-3d-scanning-cells-choosing-the-right-architecture-for-inline-inspection) [Motionless vs Robot-Based 3D Scanning Cells: Choosing the Right Architecture for Inline Inspection](https://polyrix.com/blog/motionless-vs-robot-based-3d-scanning-cells-choosing-the-right-architecture-for-inline-inspection) 18 Jun, 2026 [![](https://polyrix.com/hubfs/Bosch%20Image.png)](https://polyrix.com/blog/raising-the-standard-at-rexroth) [Raising the Standard at Rexroth: High-Mix, High-Volume Inline Assembly](https://polyrix.com/blog/raising-the-standard-at-rexroth) 29 Apr, 2026 ### Subscribe to Our Blog ## Related Posts [![The Hidden Cost of Sampling: What Happens When You Only Inspect 10% of Your Production](https://polyrix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20Hidden%20Cost%20of%20Sampling.png?width=900&name=The%20Hidden%20Cost%20of%20Sampling.png)](https://polyrix.com/blog/the-hidden-cost-of-sampling-what-happens-when-you-only-inspect-10-of-your-production) [Inline Metrology](https://polyrix.com/blog/tag/inline-metrology) [Metrology Trends](https://polyrix.com/blog/tag/metrology-trends) ### [The Hidden Cost of Sampling: What Happens When You Only Inspect 10% of Your Production](https://polyrix.com/blog/the-hidden-cost-of-sampling-what-happens-when-you-only-inspect-10-of-your-production) Aug 12, 2026 5 min read If your quality plan calls for inspecting 10% of production, you have quietly .
