Accuracy addendum
- [Instructor] I want to have a quick addendum to my comments about accuracy. This class is not meant for technicians running advanced metrology machines, where you have to be accurate down to fractions of a millimeter for reverse engineering or manufacturing goals. Rather this is how to accomplish reverse engineering on a budget or as a hobbyist or a prosumer. With that said, if you get a good scan like this, you don't want to use just the scan. You want to use whatever tools you have to get the accuracy that you need. For example, we have these goggles here.
