About

The 3D scanner is suitable for scanning a variety of objects ranging in size, textures, and complexity. It works by rapidly firing lasers at the object which rebound and are captured to create a mesh. Meshes can then be cleaned, adjusted, and measured in VXElements to be used for redesign, prototyping, and design verification.
