3D Laser Scanning Techniques
3D Laser Scanning Techniques
It is increasingly important for engineers and scientists to choose the right technique for capturing “reality data†– the physical information about a structure, object, area, or living being. While a 3D scanning service can be hired to do the job hardware and software exists enabling a professional to do it themselves.
What is a Point Cloud?
What is a Point Cloud?
Many new to laser scanning are unsure of what a point cloud is and why the process of importing is needed. Scanned information cannot be directly imported to CAD software. a definition of the point cloud will clarify this issue.
History of 3D scanners
History of Laser Scanning
3D laser scanning developed during the last half of the 20th century in an attempt to accurately recreate the surfaces of various objects and places. The technology is especially helpful in fields of research and design, through real-world object or environment analysis, collecting data on its shape and possibly its appearance (i.e. colour). Take a trip through time from the 1960s through to the present day exploring 3D scanning technology.

In areas such as design and construction, accurate measurements are essential. Something as small as a misplaced single digit can end up costing millions. To combat this potential issue, many companies have turned to laser scanning to get the most accurate data on size, shape and layout. Laser scanning company FARO is now offering the opportunity to turn that data into live virtual reality (VR) environments.

Laser scanning is a method of collecting surface data using a laser scanner which captures the precise distance of densely-scanned points over a given object at rapid speed. The process is commonly referred to as a point cloud survey or as light detection and ranging (LIDAR, a combination of the words ‘light’ and ‘radar’).
