29 years of Unusual Laser Scanning Projects
Laser Design’s veteran metrologists have performed many unusual scans in their careers. Some that have come to the fore in the recent years range from small objects and parts like molded plastic parts to ice cream bars to size 23 basketball sneakers to really big projects including huge oil drilling platforms in the ocean and an entire prison compound, decommissioned of course… We have a fun booklet of these wacky stories you can download – simply fill out the form
Scanning a “Bot” from Mystery Science Theater 3000
Company: Mystery Science Theater 3000, an award – winning television comedy, created many unique puppet characters in the course of its 20 – year existence. The show quickly became a cult classic and is still popular today with a large devoted fanbase. Challenge: Producers wanted to create a collector’s item of one of the show’s robot characters. The “real” robot puppet was over 6 feet tall, so a life – sized replica was impractical and too expensive to make. They
Separating the FACT from Fiction: Common Misconceptions about 3D Scanning
Fact or fiction? Data acquired with 3D scanning is inferior to that acquired via touch probe and CMM — This is FICTION! The fact is that 3D scanning captures tens of thousands of points per second, an enormous amount of data that makes the process statistically superior. What other misconceptions about 3D scanning have you heard (and maybe believed)? Read on to separate the FACT from the fiction! Fiction: 3D scanning is expensive. FACT: The cost of 3D scanning has
3D Scanning Helps Kimberly-Clark Save $500,000
Challenge Determine if a capital investment in larger diameter embossing modules is needed instead of the current embosser. Embossing serves several purposes on the surface and within absorbent pads of disposable hygiene products. On the surface, embossing can introduce an aesthetically pleasing pattern onto the pad, e.g. appearing soft, which can also affect fit and comfort attributes. It also has a functional purpose of controlling and directing surface flows. The embossing process is evaluated by the resulting embossing quality, which
3D Laser Scanning Ensures Accuracy and Safety of Free-form Turbine Blades
Turbine blades, made of curved vanes on a central rotating spindle, are everywhere. They whirl in everything from jet engines to wind-and water-power generators. They are even part of refrigeration processes and new tidal facilities that produce electricity. However, turbine blades of all sizes present a difficult challenge to their manufacturers: accurately producing and maintaining their complex free-form surfaces and convoluted shapes. To begin with, manufacturers of turbine blades want to know whether their as-built parts match the original design
3D Scanning at Laser-Light Speed
Advantages at a Glance: Speed, Precision, Completeness In the competitive speed-driven manufacturing environment of today’s consumer electronic device market, extreme speed and accuracy are mandatory. However, the complexity of shapes and details on the devices create a major speed bump on the road to rapid CAD models. 3D laser scanning overcomes these challenges with its ultra-fast non-contact collection capability; a laser scanning system can gather many thousands of points per second with phenomenal accuracy and detail. The laser digitizes exactly
As Featured in Time Compression Magazine: Reverse Engineering Things to Know
What do you do if you have a die or mold that was made long ago and you don’t have any computer-aided design (CAD) data for it? What do you do if you have a model that was crafted by a sculptor and you’d like to use it for a product? Well, in cases like these and others like them, what you could do is perform reverse engineering, a process that can rather quickly provide you with a CAD model
Compare the Difference: Laser Design Scan Data vs. Industry Average
“We at Laser Design know that laser scanning technologies have advanced tremendously in the last several years,” said Larry Carlberg, Laser Design Service Bureau Manager. “Manufacturers who have adopted them now have many choices to make when they want to digitize their parts: what accuracies are necessary for the application, how quickly they need the data, and what format the scan files are. And they have to decide whether they can accomplish optimal scanning results themselves or if they need expert
Foundry in Fine Form after 3D Laser Verification from Laser Design
Company The well established foundry and pattern shop makes cast parts, mainly aluminum and magnesium, for the aerospace industry. Challenge The foundry had been making castings for an aerospace company for many years. In the normal lifecycle of foundry tooling, parts need to be refurbished to make sure the castings remain within the acceptable quality standards of the customer company. Equipment must be replaced or updated. After the refurbishing process, the new cast parts also have to be requalified to
Laser Design Global Services Advances Life-Enhancing Product for Partial Finger Amputees
The Company Didrick Medical, Inc. is a small privately owned company that designs and fabricates active-function artificial finger prostheses, called the X-Finger®, for partial finger amputees.

The device is body-powered, light-weight, and allows users to regain complete control of the flexion and extension movements of an artificial finger in a self-contained device. Each X-Finger® is custom fabricated to accommodate a variety of finger amputation
Just what the Doctor Ordered: Innovative Medical Applications of Non-Contact 3D Scanning
When you think of “Medicine” what comes to mind? An emergency room full of accident victims? A researcher curing diseases in the developing world? Or just getting rid of your own annoying low-back pain? What you probably don’t think of are high-precision non-contact scanning technologies. However, no matter what your perspective or problem, 3D laser scanning may have had a role in improving some medical process you are familiar with and adding to our overall knowledge of and care for
