Additive Manufacturing is becoming more and more popular not just in the manufacturing industry, but also in the consumer market, because it offers a new world of opportunities, starting from the absence of constraints in geometry and the reduction in wastes due to material removal typical of subtractive manufacturing. Moreover, it is able to enhance lean manufacturing objectives of reducing activities that do not add any value for customers. However, a wide application is threatened by the lack of consistent quality. Therefore, it is necessary to further study defects that affect 3D printed products and to propose new manners to control them. This paper proposes to use a low cost, light weight, portable, device as a scanner to rapidly acquire data from 3D printed products and compare it with the original model.
