3D Solutions utilizes Cognitens’s Optigo 200 white light non-contact optical scanning system.  This cutting edge technology allows us to benefit from the following features:

Speed

The patented Miniature Projections Technique allows for extremely rapid data   acquisition (over 1,000,000 points per second).

Accuracy

The exceptional quality of the integrated digital camera and lens, the projector and lens, the thermal stability of the carbon fiber mechanical base bar, and the sophistication of system software ensure the highest accuracies, up to 0.015 mm (0.0005”) depending on system configuration.

Highly Portable & Light Weight

The entire system including measuring head, supporting tripod, and controlling (laptop) computer may be easily transported by a single user. The measuring head, consisting of the camera and projector units and the carbon fiber sensor bar, weighs less than 2.5 kilograms (6 pounds) which makes it light enough to be supported on a portable photographic-type tripod. The entire system may be carried on board a commercial airliner as hand luggage.

Minimal Setup Time

System calibration, when required for the highest accuracy applications, takes only a couple of minutes to perform.

Flexibility

Large parts, several tens of feet long, can be measured by acquiring multiple overlapping point clouds. These point clouds can be easily combined using the powerful 3D-ALIGNMENT module of the OPTOCAT software. For large parts or where the surface has few defining shape characteristics, the scanning system may be used in conjunction with the Aicon DPA Pro photogrammetry system.
