The SRC, a Treasury Board Crown Corporation,
has been in business for more than 55 years. Its mission is to help the
people of Saskatchewan strengthen the economy through research,
development, and the transfer of innovative scientific and technological
solutions, applications, and services. Because of its
commitment to providing cutting edge technologies to the businesses of
Saskatchewan, the SRC bought the Laser Design 3D Laser Scanner and held
seminars for business leaders on its uses. Over 45 people came from
diverse industries to see how the technology could advance their
businesses by lowering costs and saving time, increasing competitiveness
in time-to-market situations. Geomagic, Laser Design’s software
partner, also participated in the information and training sessions.
“The Laser Design FA-10P7 system fits
beautifully with the goal to help Saskatchewan industry be globally
competitive through the responsible application of science and
technology,” said C. Martin Schuster, President of Laser Design. The
system increases the SRC’s ability to apply engineering expertise to the
design and prototyping of products in plastics, metal, construction
materials, and electronics. The portable system, allows technicians to
go to the customer site to provide all types of 3D scanning services.
The SRC has used already the system for
diverse projects, which highlights the versatility of the Laser Design
FA-Series scanners. The Council expects their scanning business to
increase in the automotive, mining, and manufacturing industries as a
result of the workshops and demonstrations. The larger goal, however is
to expose these industries to the technology, so they can develop their
own applications for the Laser Design scanning system to advance their
processes and efficiencies.
Laser
Design, Inc. has been the leading supplier of ultra-precise, 3D laser
scanning systems and services since 1987. Used for capturing the 3D
shape of objects with complex geometries and free-form surfaces, Laser
Design’s Surveyor line of automated and portable scanning systems are
ideal for 3D scanning applications involving inspection and reverse
engineering of complex shaped plastic and metal parts. The company’s
patented laser line-probe technology dramatically reduces scanning time
by collecting data substantially faster and more accurately than
conventional metrology technologies. Laser
Design also operates GKS Inspection Services (www.gks3d.com),
an in-house service division offering complete 3D scanning, modeling,
and dimensional measurement services. Headquartered in Minneapolis, the
company also has an R&D lab in Seattle, a regional office in Detroit,
and distributors throughout Europe and Asia. Laser Design integrates
Geomagic software with its laser scanners to provide complete solutions
for reverse engineering and inspection applications.
