In recent years, it has become significantly easier and more convenient to capture a digital image of physical objects and surroundings. Capturing devices are more accessible and given that it is now possible to capture 3D data with certain smartphones, it can be predicted that the technology will continue to improve and become more accessible to the general public. The obtained data can be used in various fields such as reverse engineering, 3D printing, topological optimization, quality control, marketing, design, etc. There are available capturing devices on the market that work on different measuring principles, which differ from each other in terms of affordability, accuracy, speed and, of course, intended use. In the master's thesis, we covered objects of three size classes (space, statue, mechanical part) in two different ways. These methods are laser scanning and photogrammetry. The final capture result was a point cloud or polygonal model. For the mechanical part, we performed measurements on the captured model, which we compared with reference measurements. Reference measurements were made with a touch probe on a portable coordinate measuring machine. We found that, under certain conditions, photogrammetry on a mechanical part can be comparable to laser scanning technology.
