3D Machine Vision Market Overview

The 3D machine vision market refers to the industry and technologies related to 3D or three-dimensional imaging for inspection, measurement and analysis applications in manufacturing. 3D machine vision is an important part of automated optical inspection (AOI) and plays a key role in defect detection, product quality control and process automation in sectors like automotive, electronics, semiconductor, healthcare and consumer goods.

The 3D Machine Vision market industry is projected to grow from USD 2.12 Billion in 2023 to USD 3.59 billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.12% during the forecast period (2023 - 2030).

Key 3D Machine Vision Technologies

The key technologies used in 3D machine vision systems are:

• Stereo Vision: It uses two or more cameras to capture images and compares them to obtain depth information. It is one of the most widely used 3D vision technologies.
• Structured Light: It projects a light pattern on the object and uses cameras to record the deformation of the pattern and calculate 3D coordinates. Provides high accuracy.
• Time-of-Flight: It measures the time taken by light to reflect back from an object to compute its distance. Gives accurate depth data.
• Laser Triangulation: Uses laser light to scan objects and cameras to record reflection and compute depth. Offers precision in small spaces.
