The 3D structured light scan…
The 3D scan is absolutely contactless. This means that we can also scan and process sensitive objects such as art historical objects. The point cloud accuracy of 0.05mm to 0.01mm is ideally suited for this purpose,
Point cloud technical part
to make even the finest details of the object visible. Our software then creates a high-resolution 3D polygon mesh from the so-called 3D point cloud with an accuracy of up to 0.1 mm – this corresponds to the thickness of a human hair.
Finally, we can output the final 3D polygon mesh in all common file formats. If the customer wishes, it is also possible to “beacon” the texture recorded simultaneously during the scan onto the model with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels.
Photogrammetry…
Just like a structured light scan, photogrammetry is also a non-contact measurement method in which a 3D point cloud is created. The difference here, however, is that this technique compares the pixels of several images taken from different but convergent, i.e. overlapping, positions and “networks” them using an algorithm. This creates a spatial image of the object.
The “post-processing”…
If requested by the customer, we will carry out the reworking of the 3D model. The decisive factor here is the purpose for which the end product is to be used. In the case of a scan for reverse engineering or for testing a product, it is advisable to leave the “polygon raw data” as such unprocessed in order to achieve the highest possible precision.
Other models can be edited so that they can be used for VR, AR, in-house training or for implementation in the design or development process.

What is VR (Virtual Reality) …
The term virtual reality is generally understood to mean the representation and perception of an alternative, interactive environment created on a computer, which transports the user into another reality. In addition to being used in flight simulators and driving simulators, for example, this technology is also used in the gaming industry and is becoming increasingly popular due to the immersive gaming experience.
What is AR (augmented reality) …
Augmented reality has emerged in recent years. This term mainly refers to applications that extend reality with digital content. This content is visualized and merges with the direct environment. A very successful example of this is the “Pokemon Go” app released in 2016, which enables players to capture digital monsters in their immediate surroundings using a tablet or smartphone. The technology is now being used in many areas – whether in industry to visualize CAD designs directly on the future location, in mechatronics to maintain complicated technical systems or simply to get the fastest route to the nearest supermarket or to project the object of desire into your own four walls with a swipe when shopping online.
