Abstract:
A method is provided for the non-contact measurement of variations in thickness of composite materials and structures prepared from composite parts. Metrologic methods are employed to provide a 3D image of the structure or part. Variations that are greater than an acceptable amount can be corrected by adding a compensation layer to the surface of the structure or part.
