Abstract
The invention relates to a method for checking an aerosol-generating article for manufacturing defects, comprising: —recording several 2-dimensional surface profiles of the aerosol-generating article while rotating the aerosol-generating article, —combining several surface profiles recorded at different rotation angles to obtain a 3-dimensional surface profile, calculating a maximum height difference of the 3-dimensional surface profile, and —rejecting the aerosol-generating article if the maximum height difference of its 3-dimensional surface profile is above a threshold value.
