3D Laser Scanning

3D Laser Scanning is a non-destructive, non-contact technology that utilizes laser light to digitally capture the precise geometry of physical objects. By scanning surfaces, it generates point cloud data, creating an accurate digital representation of the object.

This technology offers a highly accurate and efficient method for converting existing components, prototypes, and landscapes into digital design data. Widely used across various industries, 3D laser scanning enhances design, engineering, and manufacturing processes by improving precision, reducing errors, and streamlining workflows.

What is 3D Laser Scanning?

3D laser scanning is a digital modeling technology that uses laser light and mathematical algorithms to create precise 3D models of physical objects. Depending on the type of scanner, either a laser point or laser line is projected onto the object’s surface. Specialized software then calculates and records data points where the laser makes contact, using techniques such as triangulation or time of flight. These points are mapped using Cartesian coordinates (X, Y, and Z planes) to ensure spatial accuracy.

During the scanning process, thousands to hundreds of thousands of data points are captured from multiple angles, forming a complete 360° scan. The result is a point cloud, a dense cluster of data points that serves as the foundation for creating a mesh and/or CAD model, providing engineers with highly accurate digital representations for further analysis and design.
