DAVID 3D Scanner


2012-07-18 - SLS-1 Structured Light Scanner!
Dear DAVID Friends We proudly present: The new Structured Light 3D Scanner Package "SLS-1"! This scanner, and more, are the topics of this newsletter: - SLS-1 Structured Light Scanner - New DAVID Version 3.4 - Distribution in Russia and Ukraine ================================== SLS-1 Structured Light Scanner ================================== We are finally offering a complete scanner package for Structured Light scanning! Features and advantages The SLS-1 scanner combines the latest DAVID software with perfectly suitable hardware for comfortable and flexible 3D scanning at a great value for money. With an industrial camera, a high-quality lens, a specially adapted projector and solid calibration panels, the SLS-1 is suitable for industrial applications, however still affordable for ambitious hobbyists. Tripod, mounting rack, cables - the package contains all you need (Windows PC required). As you may know, SL scanning is really convenient: No manual scanning, only one mouse click, and the 3D scan result appears on screen within just a few seconds. The calibration panels are no longer required during scanning - the SLS-1 scanner is mounted on a tripod and can simply be placed in front of the scanned surface. As usual for all DAVID solutions, the scan size is very flexible, from coin (0.08 mm resolution) to couch (500 mm scan area), or more. And 360-degree scans can be created easily: Just like with our laser scanners, you simply collect several scans from all sides, then let the well-proven Shapefusion software align and fuse them into one closed model. Experience and results The first customers are already working successfully with the scanner, and we receive a lot of positive feedback about its convenience, speed and flexibility. Our forum is full of great scan results - Thank you for that! http://www.david-laserscanner.com/?section=Gallery&page=u1 Some of our users have had a few initial difficulties (especially those using 3rd party webcams), since every scanner and its settings can be (and must be) correctly adapted to various scan conditions and surface properties. Of course most users' problems have been solved, not least thanks to great support that our forum community gives each other! With these experiences we have been able to improve the software and the user manual. Now all users can achieve decent scan results quickly.

DAVID now shows fewer unnecessary controls and pop-up windows, it projects a helpful setup pattern into the scene between scans, etc... Also the camera compatibility has been improved: DAVID now supports more camera models than ever. Also it can directly and precisely control the exposure time, which is the most important camera setting. Of course there are more improvements under the hood, so please update!
