Rotary and Plane
Scanning Modes offer the versatility to scan an
expansive array of objects. In rotary mode, the LPX-250
quickly scans an entire object on its fully integrated
rotating table. In plane scanning mode, it scans as many
as six different planes to capture side cuts and
cavities.
Rotary
Scanning
Rotary Scanning Mode
is ideal for high-speed scanning of spherical and
smooth-surfaced objects. Once the object is placed on
the LPX-250's rotating table, the laser beam travels
vertically up the rotating object to generate a data
file.
Plane
Scanning
The Plane Scanning
Mode is able to capture complicated angles and
side-cuts. The LPX-250 laser beam scans a maximum of six
surfaces at right angles. Plane Scanning is ideal for
relatively flat, hollow and side-cut objects whose
angles would be undetectable using Rotary Scanning Mode.
Easy Does
It
The EasyScan function
enables even beginners to successfully scan objects.
Using PIX Form software and the Plane Scanning Mode, a
single click transforms a 3D object into a four-surface
scan. Once scanned, PIX Form can make a composite of all
of the scanned images to create a single digital file.
Adjusting the scanning pitch or mode enables users to
create modified scans of the same object.
Non-Contact
Scanning
The LPX-250 makes
fast work of 3D scans. In fact, it can scan a 16 inches
tall object in eight minutes. Scanned objects also
remain in pristine condition, thanks to the LPX-250's
non-contact laser scanning technology. Scanning
restrictions are limited only to the technology itself:
glossy, clear or dark-colored objects will not scan
effectively unless painted red, white or yellow in order
to be "read" by the laser.
Surface
Editing Software
The bundled Pixform
software allows LPX-250 users to decimate, edit and heal
scanned data. One of the most powerful and unique
features of the software is the ability to take a
polygon solid and automatically convert it to a NURBS
file. It can then be exported as an IGES file to
industry standard MCAD software. Exportable formats
include IGES, STL, DXF and VMRL.
