Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A scanning system comprised of a multi-axis drive module comprised of a first linear drive operable along a first axis, a second linear drive joined to the first linear drive and operable along a second axis non-parallel to the first axis, and a first rotary drive mounted on the second linear drive, operable around an axis parallel to the first axis, and comprised of a rotary fixture for holding the object. A first optical probe is provided for scanning the object. The rotary fixture for holding the object may include a central object-receiving port. A first fluid circuit may be provided, which is in communication with the central object-receiving port. In that manner, an internal cavity of the object may be pressurized through a passageway in the portion of the object that is disposed in the central object-receiving port, thereby stabilizing a region of the object to be scanned.
