3D Laser Scanning:  Generate point clouds in minutes!

The new laser scanner from Kreon for six degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) MicroScribe digitizers and portable CMMs sets a new price/performance point, supplying a fast, non-contact laser scanning solution for 3D applications including:

• 3D graphics for artistic presentation, animation, education, and training

• Reverse engineering and rapid prototyping for industrial design and production

• Industrial inspection and quality control

• Physical analysis for product development, materials evaluation, research, and development

For a fraction the cost of comparable 3D laser scanners, MicroScribe digitizers and portable CMMs with the Kreon 3D laser system quickly collects point-cloud data of 3D objects. Where conventional point-and-click digitizing or measurement may take hours or days, laser scanning can produce the same or higher resolution data in minutes. Software transforms point cloud data into polygon data stored in industry-standard file formats. Polygons are sufficient for many applications including rendering and visualization, rapid prototyping, and physical analysis.
