MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Laser Design Inc., the leading supplier of 3D laser
scanners for over 20 years, will be a Silver Sponsor at industry partner
Geomagic’s annual “Convergence” conference scheduled for March 4-6, 2008 in
Research Triangle Park, NC. “Attending Convergence is always an exciting
opportunity to learn and exchange information about the 3D scanning
industry,” said C. Martin Schuster, President of Laser Design. “Our
software partner, Geomagic provides valuable seminars about their advanced
software products, plus we can meet-and-greet many of Laser Design’s
customers who work with Geomagic.” Laser Design will have a booth in the
Convergence exhibition hall.
 Chairman,
President, and Chief Executive Officer of Geomagic, Ping Fu, will deliver
the keynote address at Convergence. She co-founded Geomagic and has led its
growth from a start-up to be the worldwide leader in the digital shape
sampling and processing (DSSP) industry. Before starting Geomagic, Ms. Fu
was Director of Visualization at the National Center for Supercomputing
Applications, where she initiated and managed the NCSA Mosaic software
project that led to Netscape and Internet Explorer. Ms. Fu holds graduate
and post-graduate degrees in computer science and Chinese literature, and is
an adjunct professor at Duke University. In 2005, Inc. magazine, named her
Entrepreneur of the Year.
Conference attendees will include 3D-imaging users, technology, and the
thought leaders behind the innovation. Convergence gives Geomagic users a
unique opportunity to interact with other users, share best practices, and
learn from the Geomagic technology experts. Conference sessions revolve
around
exciting application
stories that showcase how users around the world are using Geomagic to
impact their industries.

Laser Design representatives will be on-site in the exhibition hall to learn
from Geomagic users, answer scanning questions, and explain how to make the
most out of their systems and Geomagic software.
As a conference
add-on, Geomagic will feature its recently released Geomagic Studio 10 in a
special Convergence post-conference training program about “Studio 10 New
Features” on Friday, 7 March. Studio 10 is the latest software version for
creating accurate digital models obtained with Laser Design’s 3D laser
scanners from real-world objects. Software advances include an enhanced
user-configurable GUI, a streamlined feature framework with more powerful
tools, new extension editing capabilities, plus full support for Windows XP
32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. Of note to Laser Design Surveyor
WS-Series and DS-Series systems users is the new multi-sensor metrology
support which combines the advantages of both 3D scanners and hard probes.
A major
component of Geomagic Studio 10 is the new Geomagic Fashion module that
enables the creation of optimized, CAD-ready surfaces from digitized
objects. This new module is the perfect complement to Geomagic Shape,
allowing users to automatically extract design intent and recreate original
surface aesthetics that are often lost in the manufactured or scanned
object.
Laser
Design’s current customers with Geomagic Studio maintenance contracts are
entitled to this latest release of the standard Geomagic Studio software.
Customers can upgrade their version of Geomagic Studio to include Geomagic
Fashion through Laser Design at the promotional price. For Geomagic update

Laser
Design, Inc. has been the leading supplier of ultra-precise, 3D laser
scanning systems and services
for over 20 years.
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 integrates
Geomagic software with its laser scanners to provide complete solutions for
reverse engineering and inspection applications.
