Laser Scanner |
 |
| The Handyscan 3D is a hand-held 3d laser camera that features accurate, fast and easy 3d digitizing.
The UM3D Lab has received the Handyscan and two of our staff members have received training in its use. For more information on using the Handyscan 3D for your project, contact Brett Lyons: lyonsb(at)umich.edu. |
The Handyscan 3D features an eye-safe scanning laser in tandem with an optical camera. The user applies small, white synthetic dots to the surface of an object in a random pattern. The camera tracks the relative position of these dots, and thus the object's position in space. The laser records the object's geometry and Handyscan's software renders a 3d mesh in real-time. With this system, the user may handle the scanned object while it is being scanned in order to expose every surface, and may complete part of the job and return to it later if desired. |

Because of the delicate nature of the equipment, only UM3D Lab staff or trained faculty are allowed to handle the machine. Availability of the laser scanning service is decided on a case-by-case basis, but anyone requiring laser scanned data for research or course related projects is encouraged to contact us. The UM3D Lab provides support service for the University of Michigan community, and engages in advanced projects with industry. If you have 3D scanning needs that we can not meet (for size, accuracy, turnaround time or other reasons) please see the below list of service companies. |
