RSI 3 D Laser for MicroScribe® G 2 and MX Digitizers
The new laser scanner from RSI for six degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) MicroScribe systems
sets a new price/performance point, supplying a fast, non-contact laser scanning solution
for 3D applications including:
3D graphics for artistic presentation, animation, education, and training
Reverse engineering and rapid prototyping for industrial design and production
Metrology for industrial inspection and quality control
Physical analysis for producer development, materials evaluation, research, and development
Highlights
Fits 6DOF MicroScribe systems
Dramatically reduces digitizing time
Includes software for transforming point-cloud data into industry-standard formats
Supplies compact portability and easy setup and use
Costs far less than most comparable laser systems
Software transforms point cloud data into polygon data stored in industry-standard file formats.
Polygons are sufficient for many applications including rendering and visualization, rapid
prototyping, and physical analysis.
In addition to being fast, the MicroScribe laser solution is light-weight, compact, and convenient.
It is just 6-inches square (15 cm) and weighs about 15 pounds (7 kg). The scanner controller is
palm-sized, not a big and bulky box as with most other scanning lasers.
Easy to use
A MicroScribe digitizer with a 6DOF touch probe is needed to maneuver the laser for data capture.
Instead of point-and-click, data collection is more like spray painting, with the laser collecting up to
28,000 points per second.
As you sweep the laser to profile the surface, captures points appear in real-time within MicroScan
Tools software, allowing you to see where point density should be increased. You can switch from
the long to the short laser line to increase density and better resolve high curvature regions. The
system lets  you efficiently digitize parts of even great complexity and size.
