Laser Scanning

How does it work?

Laser scanning is a non-destructive and non-contact technology that uses trigonometric triangulation to capture a 3D shape. The laser projects multiple dots at a known angle and captures its reflection with sensors. The sensor then creates and processes millions of points to create the object’s geometry.

Advantages

  • Matting spray is not required for black, shiny, & white objects
  • Can scan in low-light conditions
  • Ability to scan larger objects
  • High precision & resolution
  • Portable

CT Scanning

X-ray Technology

Computed Tomography, also known as CT Scanning, combines x-ray images around the object and creates cross-sectional slices.

3D Digitization

Quality Inspection

Using Geomagic Design X software, we can create history-based parametric CAD models, a simple solid using a mesh-to-surface converter, and even edit meshes.

Inspection

Deviation mapping

Using GEOMAGIC Control X, we can generate a color-coded mapping of deviations between measured data (scan) and reference data (CAD model), create a 2D cross-section to show deviations graphically for 2D comparisons, and much more.

Structured Light Scanning

Excellent resolution

Structured light scanning is a non-destructive and non-contact technology that captures the shape and size of an object
