SO15637 - Provision of Portable 3D Scanners with Laptop

It is proposed CAST purchases two new portable 3D scanners, each being suited to scanning larger parts (5 – 50 cm and 30 – 300 cm) in situ which would dramatically enhance CAST’s in-house 3D scanning capability, meanwhile remaining compatible with the existing bench-top scanner and software.

The ability to reverse engineer parts is a powerful one for a design engineer. It enables the rapid and accurate input of 3D data into CAD model space, therefore saving considerable remodelling time and ensuring dimensional accuracy.

CAST requires a package consisting of two scanners, a laptop containing the compatible software, operator training and a 3 year service contract.
