Laser scanners capture the entire part geometry for inspection or reverse engineering purposes, covering both freeform surfaces and geometric features. Laser scanners are used with CMMs, articulated arms, optical CMMs or even robots. The resulting digital copy forms the backbone of a powerful digital inspection process that streamlines inspection processes, reduces time to market and cuts development costs. 3D Laser Scanning accelerates design-through-manufacturing by providing full geometry feedback..

Using Hexagon scanning technology Re-tec is capable of high speed digitizing. The laser laser scanner picks up 19200 points every second and is mounted on a Renishaw PH10M, transforming the 3-axis mechanical CMM into a 5 axis optical digitizing device. The ability to adjust laser parameters enables engineers to capture complex and critical features of any physical object.
