Since most CMMs allow access to the system encoders, Laser Design can
interface its Dynamic Scanning technology to the CMM and access the CMM
positioning information through a separate PC featuring premium computing
power to run 3D scanning and data processing software.
With its Universal CMM Retrofit, motion control is handled through
the CMM’s existing motion control system.
Scan data is captured on the Laser Design PC running Surveyor Scan
Control software. In many
cases, the operator simply scans the part by moving the laser over the
part using the existing CMM joystick. |

Laser Design has also adapted its
rotary stage and popular automated scanning solution to the CMM market and
makes these items available as options.
According to Marty Schuster, CEO of Laser Design, “We now have a
cost-effective CMM laser kit and
can target thousands of CMM owners around the world with our unique
technology. Our goal is to
attain the #1 position in market share for laser scanning probes added to
CMMs.”
Since
1987, Laser Design Inc. has been the leading supplier of ultra-precise,
laser scanning systems and services used for capturing the 3D shape of
objects with complex shapes and free-form surfaces.
Laser Design’s Surveyor automated 4 and 5-axis scanning systems
are ideal for 3D applications such as computer-aided verification,
discrete dimensional measurements, reverse engineering, rapid prototyping,
and manufacturing from scan data. The
company’s patented laser line-probe technology dramatically reduces
scanning time by collecting data substantially faster and more accurately
than conventional metrology technologies.
The 16-year-old company also operates an in-house Service Bureau
offering complete 3D scanning, modeling and inspection services.
