LASER
DESIGN INTRODUCES DYNAMIC SCANNING CAPABILITY |
|
MINNEAPOLIS, MN - Laser Design Inc. announced the immediate availability of
a new Dynamic Scanning capability on its 3D laser scanning systems. Using this breakthrough approach, LDI can capture 3D surface
data information at 14,400 points per second, an increase of 400% or more
from its previous rate.

In Dynamic Scanning mode, LDI’s software directly reads the encoder
positioning data thus eliminating the need to query the system’s motion
controller for this information. By
reading the encoders directly, the system is not dependent on the
comparatively slower method of obtaining positioning feedback from the
motion controller. The
Dynamic Scanning capability requires a special PCI interface board that is
installed in the PC and a proprietary signal routing board that features a
personality module for each type of system

According to Marty
Schuster, President of Laser Design, “Dynamic Scanning gives us an
important performance edge over our competitors. We are especially pleased that this new capability can be
easily added to our installed base of systems in the field.” Schuster also noted that the Dynamic Scanning capability
would enable the company to adapt its technology more easily to existing
systems such as CMMs (Coordinate Measurement Machines) and machine tools.
Laser
Design Inc. is the leading manufacturer of ultra-precise, laser scanning
solutions used for capturing the 3D shape of any object with a complex
geometry. When combined
with post-processing software from its Solutions Partners, LDI’s
Surveyor scanning systems are ideal for 3D applications such as computer
aided verification, discrete dimensional measurements, reverse
engineering, rapid prototyping, and manufacturing.
The company’s patented laser line-sensor technology dramatically
reduces scanning time by collecting data substantially faster and more
accurately than is possible with conventional measuring technologies.
The 15-year-old company is also the worldwide leader in automated 4
and 5 axis scanning systems that minimize operator involvement.
