3D Scanning Description:

3D Scanning is a non-contact, non-destructive technology that digitally captures the shape of physical objects using a line of laser light. 3D laser scanners create "point clouds" of data from the surface of an object. In other words, 3D laser scanning is a way to capture a physical object's exact size and shape into the computer world as a digital 3-dimensional representation.

3D laser scanners measure fine details and capture free-form shapes to quickly generate highly accurate point clouds. 3D laser scanning is ideally suited to the measurement and inspection of contoured surfaces and complex geometries, which require massive amounts of data for their accurate description and where traditional measurement methods or touch probes are impractical.

Application Areas:

• Quality Control Inspection: Comparison of actual data with nominal data (part to CAD)
• Mould and Tool Making: Tool reconstruction, scan data for generation of milling tool paths, documentation of actual 3D data at tool release
• Design: Scanning of design models for further processing of CAD data, documentation
• 3D Scanning: Scanning of art/historical objects, archaeology
