WHITEPAPER:
Laser line scanning is ideal for non-contact measurement applications - including inspection, cloud-to-CAD comparison, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering and 3D modeling. Laser line scanning provides a quick way to inspect and reverse engineer complex parts and surfaces. This non-contact measurement technology employs high-end optics to convert light into accurate 3D data.
