The mechanism of a confocal laser scanning microscope is to irradiate an object with a laser beam emitted from a light source, scan the entire object in two directions, the X-axis and the Y-axis, and ...

The most popular 3D printing process for making metal parts is laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF). It uses a laser beam to scan 2D patterns over a flat bed of powdered metal to form melt tracks that fuse ...

The researchers are now able to further increase the amplitude of the scan angle multiplier by making additional changes inside their invention. They have started a company, called Pacific Optica, to ...

Laser scanning microscopes are useful for all kinds of tiny investigations. As it turns out, you can build one using parts salvaged from a Blu-ray player, as demonstrated by [Doctor Volt]. The trick ...

While new technology is captivating, realizing the benefit of its capabilities relies upon effective implementation. There is always an illusion — a risk — with something cutting-edge, such as laser ...

Scan to BIM is the process of converting laser-scanned point cloud data into a Building Information Model (BIM), most commonly created in Autodesk Revit. BIMPROVE delivers Scan to BIM models at LOD ...
