constraints:
- Environmental conditions: 20°C ±2°C, <50% RH
- Equipment must have valid calibration certificates
- Measurement uncertainty must be <20% of tolerance
- Datum features must be measured first
- Reports must include uncertainty analysis

Scan Procedure:
1. Prepare Battery Pack:
- Clean surfaces to remove dust/debris
- Apply spray powder if shiny surfaces present
- Mark reference targets (8-10 spheres)
- Document serial number and orientation

3. Post-Processing:
- Register scans using target spheres (ICP alignment)
- Remove noise and outliers (statistical filter)
- Downsample to 2mm spacing
- Export merged cloud: battery_pack_scan.ply
4. CAD Comparison:
- Load nominal CAD: battery_pack_nominal.step
- Sample CAD surface to point cloud (100k points)
- Align scan to CAD using best-fit (global registration)
- Compute point-to-surface deviations
5. Analysis:
- Generate deviation color map:
* Blue: -2mm to -0.5mm (undersize)
* Green: -0.5mm to +0.5mm (within tolerance)
* Yellow: +0.5mm to +1.0mm (marginal)
