Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: 3D Scanner/ Dizitizer

Hi,
I'm just doing a project at work using a laser displacement sensor from DSE
(Danish Sensor Engineering, i think) It measures from 100mm to 300mm with
0.01mm resolution. It measures with a frequency of 2000Hz and spitts out the
data at 115kbaud. It also has various internal average-routines and 'false
reading skipping'. Very easy to use windows .dll to use in your own
software, which I do (VB).
I have this dream, when the project is over, to borrow the sensor, put it on
my machine and use Mach2 to play a bit with 3D scanning.
The downside is the price of the sensor. 40.000SEK, about $5.000.
