About 3D Laser Scanning

3D laser scanning is a Non-intrusive means of rapidly collecting detailed and accurate “As-Is” data.

The 3D laser scanner emits a narrow eye-safe laser beam that “sweeps across” a target object gathering literally millions of closely spaced measurements in a matter of minutes.

These measurements are grouped into a compressed point cloud databases that can be easily manipulated on standard desktop and laptop computers displaying a dense representation of the scene.

Data can be viewed, navigated and analyzed much like a 3D model in traditional CAD systems

3D Laser Scanners are (Eye-safe)

Using Class 1 or 3R Laser Product

Using 3D Laser Scanners Increases Productivity

• > 50,000 (Time of flight 3D laser Scanners) points per second
• > 1,000,000 (Phase-Based 3D laser Scanners) points per second

Using 3D Laser Scanners Increased Accuracy

• Accuracy of single measurement
• Position – 6 mm (1/4”)
• Distance – 4 mm (1/6”)
• Modeled surface precision
• 2mm (1/12”) std. deviation
