Laser Mapping

Laser Profilometry (Laser Mapping) for High-Precision 3D Measurement

Laser profilometry, often referred to as laser mapping, provides surface detail and measurements with unmatched accuracy and coverage levels, far beyond what is achievable through traditional mechanical methods. This non-contact, nondestructive technology is ideal for capturing precise measurements on contoured surfaces, such as fittings and saddles, where physical measurements are challenging or impractical. Using lasers and reflector dots for orientation, laser mapping digitally captures an object’s exact surface characteristics and converts it into a 3D digital representation.

Creaform Portable 3D Laser Mapping Scanner

The Creaform handy scanner offers the fastest solution on the market for data acquisition and with help from the Pipecheck offered with the scanning system, we can also boast the fastest analysis and report turn arounds. The Creaform scanner covers the accuracy, simplicity, portability and traceability that clients demand in a competitive market.
