Application Spotlight: Laser Design’s Terrestrial 3D scanning team recently had two projects with a similar goal of projecting images and video onto an irregularly shaped surface. Both projects took place in high-traffic areas where accessibility provided issues, and the need for accurate models were key to make sure images and video would appear as intended. The areas were 3D scanned and the scan data was used to create a mesh surface that our clients were able to implement for their
Digging for the truth about the Kensington Runestone with Artec Eva and Space Spider

CT Analysis of Metal 3D Printed Parts
The printing of 3D metal parts is incredibly difficult. For example the slightest impurity in powered metal can be scanned and used, hit with a laser and popped creating a void inside that material that the next layer can easily cover up. If that void becomes denser and/or is in areas of high stress, the part can break and not support the intended weight. This is not yet a consistent or repeatable process yet and the only way to eliminate errors is with computer topography. More importantly, CT is able to do this without destroying the part being printed.
