Software automatically removes noise from 3D scans.

Used in scanning of parts with reflective surfaces, Laser Design Point Cloud Denoiser(TM) (3D) automates noise reduction process for 3D data obtained from any scanner using industry-standard file formats. It automatically removes noisy data after scan is complete, leaving actual surface data intact via proprietary denoising algorithms. Solution handles planar and arbitrarily curved surfaces with...
