3D Laser Scanning System

Perceptron's Smart3D offers a fully integrated 3D scanning system that provides users with robust digital models of physical objects for reverse engineering, 3D printing or graphical web content.

Hyped as a productivity breakthrough for the reverse engineering and modeling sectors, the system includes an automatic rotary table and easy-to-use Scanworks Studio software, along with a simple, teach-and-repeat process that allows scanning of repetitive parts using the ‘Auto Rescan’ Feature.

Combined, the accuracy of the acquired dataset is significantly enhanced over equivalent data acquired using manually operated scanning systems.

SMART3D incorporates Perceptron’s patented HELIX smart scanning sensor technology which is used extensively throughout the global automotive industry for in-process laser scanning of car bodies for dimensional stability and gap and flush measurement.

HELIX incorporates MEMS technology and offers the world’s first programmable laser scanner whereby the laser line quantity, density and scanning volume are fully user programmable, negating the necessity to physically move the laser scanner over the part.

All scanning motion is contained within the HELIX smart scanning sensor itself, dramatically improving quality of scanned data while maintaining a volumetric accuracy down to 50 microns. The unique HELIX configurable line density allows for scan line intervals programmable down to 0.1mm.
