Surphaser – 3D Laser Scanners

surphaser-3d-laser-scanners3D scanning is a practice that is growing in popularity. With Surphaser 3D laser scanners, users are able to scan three dimensional objects and duplicate them on a 3D printer. Objects of different sizes have easily been converted into smaller models for study. For instance, the car industry will scan the parts of competitor vehicles in order to determine what sets them apart.

Everything from mechanical parts to tools can be duplicated.
