We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Laser Scanner",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Portable CMM arm is 30% more accurate from
FARO Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "On show at MACH 2008 will be a portable CMM measuring arm that 30% more accurate, 33% lighter in weight, and offers better performance in scanning dark or reflective surfaces".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Metrology software made for portable CMM arms from
Faro UK: "Metrology software for portable coordinate measuring arms can easily change/convert between different measurement units or coordinate systems".
In January 2008, we covered the news from FARO Technologies
concerning its CAM2 Q CMM arm software
- take a look at Metrology software made for portable CMM arms
which says: "Metrology software for portable coordinate measuring arms can easily change/convert between different measurement units or coordinate systems".
Take a look also at the news release from Faro UK, Advanced probe made for measuring arms,
as well as Portable laser scanning arm accuracy raised from Faro UK,
and Measuring arm makes North American sale from Faro UK.
