3D Scanning

As a trained survey draftsman, I’ve always had a fascination for measuring. Years ago, playing with an Arduino and all sorts of hardware lead to buying a simple low budget laser scanner. When I came across an image of the first truly wireless handhelp laser scanner, I knew I needed my own Artec Leo.

In addition to general post production and export of meshes, Artec Studio allows fitting of CAD objects to parts of a scan. Spheres, cylinders, cones, planes and even Nurbs surfaces can be fitted and constrained, which is a huge benefit when it comes to alignment and placement of holes and other features.
