3D laser scanning is a simple and effective method for generating a 3D digital file from an existing physical object. The scanner itself uses a laser or light source and a camera to identify and collect digital reference points from the object being scanned. These individual points are then collated into a point cloud, which can subsequently be converted into a 3D digital model for direct reproduction or manipulated further. Used for a host of applications, including creative sculpture and reverse engineering, A1 Technologies offers the lowest cost, hand-held 3D scanner on the market — the David Laserscanner.
