Inquire NowA 3D laser body scanner captures the full external geometry of a human body or object using structured light or time‑of‑flight laser triangulation. The resulting point cloud provides millimeter‑level detail that can be used for ergonomic analysis, custom apparel, medical prosthetics, or industrial fit testing.
The scanner operates with a laser wavelength of 650 nm (red) and a maximum measurement range of 2.5 m. Point spacing is adjustable from 0.5 mm to 2 mm, influencing both acquisition speed and resolution. Frame rates range from 5 fps for high‑density scans to 30 fps for rapid surface mapping.
The usable measurement volume is a cylinder 2.0 m in diameter and 2.2 m high, accommodating standing subjects. Volumetric accuracy is specified as ±0.8 mm over the full volume, with repeatability better than 0.3 mm under stable temperature conditions (±2 °C).
| Parameter | Typical Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Laser source | 650 nm diode laser | Class 2M, eye‑safe under normal use |
| Scan range | 0.5 m – 2.5 m | Adjustable focus lenses |
| Point spacing | 0.5 mm – 2.0 mm | User‑selectable via software |
| Frame rate | 5 – 30 fps | Dependent on resolution setting |
| Operating temperature | 10 °C – 35 °C | With optional enclosure |
| Power consumption | 45 W typical | 110‑240 V AC input |

The device projects a patterned laser line onto the subject. A pair of CMOS sensors captures the deformation of the line from two known viewpoints. By triangulating the sensor data, the system calculates the distance to each point on the surface, generating a dense point cloud in real time.
Software then aligns successive frames using inertial measurement unit (IMU) data or external markers, producing a watertight mesh. Post‑processing options include hole filling, smoothing, and texture mapping if a color camera is integrated.
Depending on project requirements, the scanner can be supplied with:
Each unit undergoes a three‑stage verification:
Yes, by exchanging the projection optics and adjusting the sensor baseline, the usable diameter can be extended to 3.0 m, subject to recalibration.
What file formats are exported?The native output is an unordered point cloud in PLY or XYZ format. Meshes can be saved as STL, OBJ, or FBX, with optional texture maps in PNG or JPEG.
Is on‑site training provided?Standard purchase includes a two‑day operator training session at the buyer’s facility, covering safety, calibration, and data processing workflows.
