IntriCAD NL introduces Tri Angles™ 3D Scanner
On this page we are proud to present an example of how sophisticated and accurate application can be build using our drivers. The driver used here is BSD-01P.
3D Circumference scanner capable of scanning object and full color texture in less than 2 minutes. Software includes DirectX video processing and OpenGL based graphics. Exports scanned models to STL, DXF, VRML and OBJ.
The BSD-01P is a programmable controller and stepper motor driver on one board. Here it works in two different modes.
First one, stand alone, does not require connection to the computer. In this mode the controller calculates and generates number of step pulses and timing delays. Rotational speed is adjusted with simple potentiometer.
The Second mode, allows controlling the motor directly from the PC through RS232 or USB. This way only few external components are used as the BSD-01P executes all the logic and functionality in one place.
| Scan Type | 3D Non-Contact Circumference Scanner |
| Scan Technique | Point Triangulation |
| Scan Method | Deformation of projected pattern (stripe) over the 3D object/scene (laser, projection) to indicate depth points |
| Scan Sensor | CCD type visual array, video camera (recommended) |
| Scan Range | Depends on scan set up and optics |
| Scanning Speed | Typically less than 60 seconds at full video resolution per rotation pass |
| Scanner Accuracy | Factor 100-200 times less than height of object |
| Scanable Materials | Most opaque surfaces. (Mat white surfaces are best) |
| Texture Scanning | Yes |
| Hardware Footprint (instrument setup area) | Desk top |
| PC-less scanning | Yes |
| Hardware control | Manual (Motorized turn table) |
| Software Features | Auto interface to CCD video (Composite, USB, FireWire), DirectX AVI recorder, Pre scan filters and process control, device interface control, post process transformations (patching, smoothing editing), OpenGL hardware rendered graphics, export to popular formats: STL,DXF,RAW,PNT,VRML,OBJ and a compressed native format TXS |
