3D laser scanners are all the hype these days, but how much do you really know about them? When designing today’s products, having a 3D model can make all the difference. The technology is not as difficult to understand as you might think. Applications such as non-contact inspection, point cloud-to-CAD comparison, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, and 3D modeling all require the use of a tool that gives you the 3D information you need in order to design that perfect product.
