We’ve all likely seen the amazing images possible with a scanning electron microscope. An SEM can yield remarkably detailed 3D images of the tiniest structures, and they can be invaluable tools for ...

Advanced computer design tools have merged with high-definition laser camera scan data to produce integrated images that are particularly useful for outage and maintenance planning. A 3-D tool that ...

Laser scanning technology continues to gain momentum in the construction industry for its ability to help Building Teams collect tons of highly accurate information in a very short period of time.

First high-resolution laser survey of ancient site shows importance of solstices and efforts to make those events more dramatic. Photonics technology has revealed in unprecedented detail the efforts ...

Designing the right scan path, and laser intensity along that path, is key to turning out quality metal parts using laser powder-bed fusion. The most popular 3D printing process for making metal parts ...

Laser scanning technology for building security applications utilises the time-of-flight method, in which a sensor emits a pulse that is then reflected by a target, if present. The time required for ...
