Handheld laser scanners are being used by many industries including aerospace, manufacturing, multimedia, and medicine as they provide a quick and easy way to create 3D objects. It provides designers and engineers with a completely new way to capture 3D data with extraordinary speed, ease of procedure, and versatility for a wide range of new and emerging applications. This self-positioning scanner has changed the way shape acquisition, reverse engineering, and 3D inspection are done. This innovation in the field of scanning has revolutionized the world of 3D scanning.
The scanner is used in the precise digitization of parts for consistency evaluation. Eases the design process from existing concepts to hand-built models for easy prototyping in performance simulations. It can be used to easily capture mockups for further modification and to obtain 2D or 3D CAD files. In medical science he creates very exhaustive reproductions of organs and intricate bone structures. The scanner scans handmade samples to produce multi-part designs from scratch. Digital archiving can be done to save money by storing tools, samples, and prototypes digitally. It is ideal for supporting digital media production for computer games and movies from artist perception models. The scanner produces high-resolution, low-impact scans for accurate restorations and renovations of priceless works of art and architecture.
The scanner’s auto-positioning feature avoids the use of external tracking or positioning devices. This allows engineers and designers more freedom and flexibility to scan any part, even in places that normal CMMs or arms cannot pass or reach. Traditional CMMs are bulky, static, and massive slabs of stone and iron; in addition, the measuring arms require the use of unwieldy tripods. It is portable and can be easily carried from one place to another. It provides extended scanning due to its light weight and with accurate results. Being a portable device, it provides flexibility of use during scanning. The scanner has the versatility to scan objects of any shape, size, or color. It does not require expensive configurations for its operation. The easy-to-use application does not involve any special training sessions to gain proficiency in its operation.
The advantages offered by the innovative handheld scanner have completely speeded up and simplified the scanning process. Powerful, accurate, and truly portable, the scanner surely maintains its technological edge. It has simplified the work of data acquisition and also allows 3D to be used in innovative and creative applications and in ways never before imagined.
