Portable Scanner provides natural color of scanned object.
Press Release Summary:
HoloScanner Mark IIa can acquire full 3-dimensional image of objects or people in less than 1 sec. All dimensions of scanned object are digitally stored in computer memory and are available for scaling, slicing, rotation, and other manipulations. Dimensional data is linked to all available CAD/CAM systems such as those produced by Solid Works, AutoDesk, Dassault, and EDS. Applications include aerospace, manufacturing, and automation.Original Press Release:
HoloScanner Mark IIa
Four D announces the availability of its latest scanner, the HoloScanner Mark IIa, a three dimensional scanner providing full natural color with improved accuracy, and high speed data acquisition. The Mark IIa can acquire a full three dimensional image of objects or persons in less than a second. Originally designed as a means of measuring stress-strain relationships for aerospace wings under dynamic loading, it is now finding many more applications in Aerospace, manufacturing, and automation.
All of the dimensions of the scanned object are digitally stored in its computer memory. The stored dimensions are available for scaling, slicing, rotation, and other manipulations. The dimensional data is readily linked to all available CAD/CAM systems such as those produced by Solid Works, AutoDesk, Dassault, EDS, and others. Images retain all of the natural color of the scanned object.
The HoloScanner is portable, can be set up within fifteen minutes, and is self calibrating. Full training for the operator is accomplished in less than two hours. Components include a computer and software programs to provide immediate operation.
The pictures below are examples of three dimensional scans with full natural color as scanned by the Mark IIa. They illustrate the accuracy and exactness of detail. All of the data for these three dimensional images were acquired in a second. The dimensional accuracy depends upon the scale. For smaller objects, accuracies of one thousandth of an inch can be provided.
Four D Imaging, Inc., was spun off from Berkeley Engineering and Research to manufacture and support precision three dimensional imaging systems. The technical staff is headed by three Ph.D engineers with more than 100 years experience among them in solving engineering problems.
