Touch probing vs Scan probing

We are upgrading our CMM and would like some feedback on the

pros/cons of going from touch probe to scan. All feedback is welcome!

Thank you in advance...

Well, they are quite different. Kind of a broad subject actually.
It would greatly depend on what kind of parts you have to measure and what kind of data you need.
I am just starting to get into scanning now, so far things to note would be that calibration takes significantly longer. Your probes will take much more wear. Small details and the cleanliness of your part matter a good deal more. Scanning features like bores are generally faster than taking an acceptable number of TTP points.

I'm sure someone else will chime in, but it really comes down to how your going to use it.
