Abstract
A three-dimensional digitizer for digitizing the surface contour of a solid body comprises a probe supported on the base for contacting the solid body at a plurality of sample points, a pair of mounting members mounting the probe for movement in linear directions along the X-coordinate and Y-coordinate, respectively, with respect to the base and the solid body; and a third mounting member for mounting the solid body for movement in a rotary direction with respect to the probe.
