3D Scanning Innovation

In association with Streamline Automation and our 3D scanning partners, Criteria Systems has made great technical strides in 3D scanning. Our latest developments allow for the most detailed fully realized water-tight meshes ever.
 
Jan. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Calgary, Alberta, December 22, 2009 – Criteria Systems Ltd. today announced it has made a breakthrough in creating fully watertight 3D meshes from its Relief Scanning System..

Never before has the resolution, detail and quality been present in a full 3D model. The files created are suitable for rapid prototyping and fabrication by other means. As well the models can be used to calculate volume, which is essential for many applications.





This new technical achievement at Criteria Systems will allow for incredibly precise 'reverse engineering' applications too. 3D scanning, the process of converting physical objects into precise digital models, enables quick and accurate capture of an object's shape and geometries. This process supplies you with a complete digital representation of your part to be used for reverse engineering, quality inspection or at any point of a typical manufacturing cycle.

For other applications the ability to generate high quality 3D models from scan data can be useful if modifications are required. For instace in character modeling, the pose of an original sculpture can be changed digitally and then the model prototyped for casting. For animation, an original object can be scanned, and animated digitally. The following diagram illustrates other uses of quality 3D scan data:


3D Scanning Applications

Our scanning systems work by reading a reflected laser beam off of the original object. There is no physical contact made with the model, and the process is entirely non-destructive to the original. The scan system then builds a 3D model of the object. This model can be modified in a CAD-system or used for copying the exact shape, or rapid prototyped out as a one to one or scaled version of the original.

As an innovative leader in the application of 3D scanning, Criteria Systems is certain that this latest innovation will improve data capture for our clients, and we will continue to work on developing our systems in the future.
