About laser 3D scanners

3D Scanners come in different types. Handheld scanners typically rely on laser sources to measure points dynamically. The measurement cameras also take care of orientating the scanner in 3D by detecting retro-reflective target dots.

    Operators are required

Target dots for laser scanners

Handheld laser 3D scanners require dedicated target dots to measure components accurately. These dots have a special coating that make them retro-reflective. The light bounces back from the direction it comes and allow very short exposure for tracking cameras.

Scanning Spray for laser scanners

Shiny and transparent parts are difficult to measure with 3D laser scanners. Scanningspray allows to render the surface matte and consistant for the measurement. With a thickness of our few micros, scanning spray does not affect measurement accuracy. Vaniahing spray or self-sublimating spray is made out of human safe material and disappears in a few hours without leaving residue.
