How 3D Laser
Scanning Works
Laser Design's technology uses Laser Triangulation, a precise method of 3D
data acquisition. Laser triangulation is an active stereoscopic
technique where the distance of the object is computed by means of a
directional light source and a video camera. A laser beam is
deflected from a mirror onto a scanning object. The object scatters
the light, which is then collected by a video camera located at a
known triangulation distance from the laser. Using trigonometry,
the 3D spatial (XYZ) coordinates of a surface point are calculated.
The CCD camera’s 2D array captures the surface profile’s image and
digitizes all data points along the laser.
Software
Specialized for 3D Laser Scanning
Through specialized software from Laser Design Solution Partners,
the 3D laser scan can be easily compared to a CAD file, enabling
deviations from normal to be graphically displayed. Other
software programs allow NURBS surfaces to be applied to the scan
data as well as STL and CNC tool path files.
