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...

  • instead of digging hole with hands you will have some shovel for this, scan is mostly faster 

    Scan is something like must be at present day, instead of collecting 500 points you can have it in one feature much faster and easier. I think every one should use it :) 

    Scan speeds will be important for you if you have some small tolerances also the filtering methods will take great effect on small tolerances. 

    for example while i had 0.05 mm tolerance of roundness

    result of 36 probed points was 0.017 

    result of 1200 points of scan was 0.08 

    result of filtered scan could be changed by filtering for up to 0.03 

    and its quite hard to learn do use filters and what filters for part speed and points quantity
