Innovative, User Friendly, 3D Laser Scanning Systems
The PICZA desktop scanner concept is yet another remarkable innovation from Roland. Take an object, put it on the bed of the machine, leave it for a while and come back to find a 3D image of it on your computer.
What do you do with a 3D Image?
Export to 2D Graphics Packages
Images may be used for presentation in conjunction with a desktop publishing package, Web page design, etc.
Export to 3D Graphics Packages
3D images may be added to existing 3D designs, or can form the basis of computer animations.
Scan then Manufacture
For example, take a model of an object (eg., a flower), made in plasticine. Scan it, shrink and invert the scanned image, then machine it out in wax. The mould produced can be used to make several copies in coloured casting resin. With a couple of holes drilled, these could be used as buttons for a garment.
Design, Scan then Manufacture
A simple example would be to design a biscuit shape in 3D Engrave, and then apply to it, the scan of an object from nature such as a shell. The final design could then be manufactured as a biscuit mould in food grade polyethylene.
How do they work?
The LPX-60, LPX-600 and LPX-1200 use a non-contact laser system to capture 3D images. The object is placed on a rotary table and the laser scanning head scans in the vertical plane.
Scanning in Schools?
3D design software is great, but even the best imposes serious restrictions for free form design. PICZA scanners are one solution to the problem, and allow CNC equipment to be used much more creatively in three dimensions. The possibilities are endless, the scope for really exciting GCSE and A level project work enormous. Anyone who intends taking 3D design seriously should consider investing in a PICZA Laser Scanner.
Roland PICZA LPX-60
The LPX-60 is Roland’s ground breaking 3D laser scanner. Amazingly fast and precise for such a relatively low cost device, the LPX-60 is the ideal entry level 3D laser scanner. A compact unit with a large scanning area, the birth of the LPX-60 means it has never been so easy for schools to enter the world of laser scanning.
