Operating principle of SAUNO 3D scanner

3D scanner operates on the contact principle. The touch sensor measures the height (depth) of the model at each grid point using a touch tip point.The grid step is set in the scanning program. The smaller the mesh pitch is, the better is the quality of small parts, but the longer is the operating time.
3D scanner measures height at millions of terrain points. If measurements were taken at each point of a fine coordinate grid, then the scanning time would be measured in days.
SAUNO 3D scanner uses algorithms that speed up the work tens of times. For example, the scanning pitch is automatically adjusted for smooth and uneven areas.

3D scanner program identifies surface areas with complex terrain and scans them more thoroughly than smooth areas. It allows you to select areas with small details on the scanned model and rescan them with high accuracy.
3D scanner can be installed on  Graphic-3KP or Graphic-3KM machines. It uses the engraving machine's level sensor as a touch sensor. The level sensor tip point must be replaced with a contact needle. 3D scanner is controlled by the Engrave program.
