Global 3D Weld Inspection Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2025-2031

According to this study, the global 3D Weld Inspection market size will reach US$ 403 million by 2031.

3D weld inspection is a detection method based on non-contact optical measurement technology, which uses high-precision three-dimensional imaging systems (such as line laser scanning, structured light projection or binocular stereo vision) to perform millimeter-level to micron-level spatial reconstruction of the weld surface morphology. Its core principle is to use laser triangulation reflection or phase-shift fringe projection technology to obtain the height field data (Z axis) and two-dimensional contour information (X-Y plane) of the weld area, and generate a three-dimensional geometric model of the weld through a point cloud registration algorithm to achieve quantitative measurement of key dimensions such as weld excess height, width, misalignment, undercut depth, and surface waviness. This technology breaks through the plane projection limitations of traditional 2D visual inspection, and can accurately identify three-dimensional defects such as pits, cracks, and spatter on the weld surface, and realize automatic classification and quantitative evaluation of defects based on geometric feature analysis (such as curvature mutation and local roughness).

The current 3D weld inspection market is showing a growth trend of accelerated technology iteration and demand expansion, driven by the high requirements for welding quality in lightweight automobiles, aerospace composite materials applications, and new energy equipment manufacturing. On the technical level, laser triangulation, structured light scanning, and AI visual algorithms are deeply integrated to achieve micron-level defect recognition and three-dimensional weld morphology reconstruction. For example, the 2D+3D fusion inspection system launched by Visionbit can identify 0.5mm-level appearance defects, and the FSWELD2800 system of Bochu Electronics optimizes the welding path of non-standard workpieces through visual error compensation algorithms; in the market competition landscape, international giants such as Cognex and Keyence occupy the high-end market, while domestic companies such as Han's Laser and Sikan Technology have exceeded 30% of the market share in the steel structure and shipbuilding fields by virtue of localized services and cost-effective advantages. At the same time, the industry presents a trend of "hardware + software + service" integration, and leading companies realize the full life cycle management of the welding process by building a digital twin platform. In the future, with the popularization of 5G+Industrial Internet, 3D weld inspection will evolve towards cloud collaboration and real-time feedback.
