3D Optical Digitizers
Patterned light is projected onto subjects; deformation is recorded by an off-set camera. Triangulation calculates a 3D mesh. Fast, accurate and adaptable for human portraiture.
3D Laser Scanners
A laser line moves over subjects' surfaces; an off-set camera records deformation. Triangulation calculates a 3D mesh. Slower, but higher accuracy enabled for static objects.
3D Mechanical Digitizers
Mechanical arms physically probe objects, guided by the user; points are recorded on the surface of subjects. Intuitive but slow. Unsuitable for delicate objects.
3D Scanning software
View, edit and export scan data efficiently and accurately. Triangulation, registration and merging algorithms, polygon editing, CAD conversion, model export for web viewing.

Colour 3D Laser Sensors
CLS Series - Real-Time Colour 3-D Laser
Sensors CLS colour laser sensors extract shape and colour of three-dimensional
objects delivering colour-per-vertex in hand-held mode. Light-weight and compact,
they are ideal tools for emerging engineering applications, 3-D media, heritage
preservation, design and research.
The MVT CLS sensors are active triangulation
devices and deliver colour 3-D points natively at high-speeds, in hand-held
mode. Shape and colour information is captured simultaneously for each vertex
in multi-CCD and single monochromatic light source proprietary design. To achieve
colour-per-vertex performance, colour is sampled around vertices over regions
comparable in size to that of measurement accuracy.
MVT CLS60 mounted with Microscribe Arm
Sensors operation is highly visual. In hand-held
mode the user observes model shaping on screen. The matched field of view is
displayed live; aiming to spots of interest is easily controllable. Real-time
rendering helps to locate holes or missing data. The CLS series is the only
hand-held capable laser sensor to feature live high-resolution video navigation.
MVT sensors have comfortable ranges, between
4.5"-15" Designed for medium-sized objects, CLS60 work optimally around
4-6" range with speeds of 19,200 pps. Speed, accuracy and working range
are adjustable in software, letting the user adjust performances to needed requirements.
All sensors have standard IEEE1394 interface,
and can connect directly to almost any PC or Laptop. No dedicated hubs or embedded
controllers are required. No power supply is required on most PCs. Thin and
flexible, cables are easily routed where necessary.
A four-button panel is conveniently located
to enable mouse and keyboard-free operations. This way self-sufficient functionality
is maintained. Lights for power and range alert indicate sensor status.
Configurations requirements: Pentium 4/HT,
3GHz or better, 1GB, workstation grade graphics card (ATI FireGL, nVidia Quadro4),
IEEE PCI adaptor, Windows XP Pro.
Data can be exported in CSV, ASCII and TXT
formats for third parties point cloud applications for reverse engineering,
modeling and animation.

ThingLab FAQs....
q What makes the CLS series different from most 3d scanners?
a The MVT CLS range of 3d sensors are high accuracy laser scanners which also collect colour information for every 3d point it records. No other hand held scanners can do this.
Some tripod based scanning systems allow you to capture photographic texture maps, but these are normally of a low resolution and difficult to merge together seemlessly.
The CLS sensors allow you to interactively scan all parts of an object and collect a cohesive colour data set.
q What is the difference between the CLS60 and the CLS40?
a Volume and accuracy. The CLS60 scans a larger volume (15cm - 37.5cm) at an accuracy of 0.05mm - perfect for larger objects. The CLS40 scans a smaller volume (7cm - 30cm) at a higher accuracy of 0.025mm - perfect for small detailed objects.
q Which data formats can be exported?
a You are currently able to export a point cloud in ASCI text format (.asc). This is recognised by most scan data processing software.
q How do I process the data?
a A number of options are available. The data can be left as I point cloud for real time visualisation, web publishing, template modeling etc. The data can be meshed into a triangle model for use in animation and rendering, rapid prototyping, verification etc.
q What can I use the data for?
a The CLS seriescan be used for object archiving, web publishing, rapid prototyping, heritage applications, medical research etc
