A1 Technologies has released the DAVID-laserscanner to the UK market. The £320 starter kit allows for contact-free scanning of 3D objects for a range of applications. The only hardware requirements — which are included in the starter-kit — are a handheld laser and a camera.  

The starter-kit includes a 2-megapixel webcam with autofocus, a red line laser module (650 nm, Class 1 laser) with adjustable focus, battery, calibration panels (for three different object sizes), a base plate for mounting the calibration panels, DAVID-laserscanner Professional Edition software on a USB Flash Drive, a stand for the webcam, and a full user manual.

The DAVID-laserscanner is capable of producing 3D data that can be used in various standard file formats. To obtain the required data users hold the laser in their hand and sweep the laser line over the object to be scanned. The DAVID-laserscanner will generate a 3D model, capturing surface details of less than 0.2 mm.
