3D LASER SCANNER

Laser scanners are non-destructive measuring instruments that allow complete 3D scanning of objects and environments in various fields of application: Industrial Applications Architecture-Construction Cultural Heritage Infrastructure Virtual Reality Judicial Field Naval Scanning lasers are devices capable of emitting an electromagnetic pulse (the laser) and receiving the reflected signal, measuring the time interval elapsed and therefore the distance between the instrument and the detected point. The laser beam is deflected by means of a mechanism of rotating and oscillating mirrors that, with the variation of the azimuth and zenith angle, illuminates the ground in contiguous points. This system works by measuring even tens of thousands of points per second, forming "point clouds". For each measurement (x,y,z), the system provides the intensity of the return signal, describing the surface of the scanned object.

Printers

t’s rather crazy how many emails we receive on a daily basis asking us to suggest a 3D printer for a particular use. There are literally hundreds of different machines on the market, and several new printers launching each and every week. It can oftentimes be difficult to sift through all the clutter, especially if you are new to the industry. That’s why I got together with some of the writers here at 3DPrint.com to crunch our heads together and come up with what we feel is a pretty solid list of printers, which you really can’t go wrong purchasing.

Pros and cons of using

3D laser scanner

technology compared to

traditional surveying

techniques

Over the years we have carried out dozens of surveys of buildings and industrial plants, using the most diverse measurement techniques. We have often discussed the advantages and disadvantages of using more traditional survey methods, such as surveying with a topographic total station integrated with direct acquisition of measurements with laser rangefinders, compared to the use of 3D laser scanner technology. When surveying a complex architecture, such as a historic building perhaps on several floors or an industrial plant, the most commonly used techniques are usually these: Direct survey, performed with portable laser rangefinders or straps Topographic survey with total station integrated with direct survey 3D Laser Scanner survey In this article we will therefore try to focus on the pros and cons of the different techniques .
