Key Features
Accurate non-contact measuring technology
The digital camera offers a measuring accuracy down to 10 micron and benefits from a true non-interpolated resolution of more than a thousand points per stripe, allowing freeform surfaces and features to be scanned accurately and efficiently.
Ideal for measuring soft and fragile parts
Measuring soft and fragile parts potentially yield inaccurate measurements or surface scratches. As laser scanning technology is entirely non-contact, there is no risk for damage or inaccurate measurement.
Easy part-to-CAD inspection and reverse engineering
Part-to-CAD inspection compares the acquired point cloud with nominal CAD data, resulting in crystal-clear geometric deviation displays. Freeform surface inspection is ideal for studying material springback and shrinkage phenomena to ensure that the shape of the part is within geometry specifications. Focus extracts geometric features highly accurately, thanks to the thousands of measurement points captured by the scanner. The multitude of points allows the software to apply very accurate line fitting to determine the exact position and orientation of a wide range of features.
Focus Reverse Engineering quickly creates CAD surface models from individual point clouds using a straightforward workflow. Reverse engineering is typically applied when original CAD data is missing, to create CAD from handmade clay models, to update designs, or as input for rapid prototyping of freeform parts and products.
Efficient scanning
The ModelMaker MMDx laser scanner offers a high scan rate and a laser stripe with high point density. This ensures that freeform shapes and geometric features can be digitized efficiently. Surface and feature shapes are critical for high-quality assembly and part mating.
Enhanced Scanning Performance of the 3rd generation (ESP3)
ESP3 incorporates dynamic point-per-point laser intensity adaptation of laser source intensity. This capability allows different surface materials, finishes and transitions to be scanned without user interaction, eliminating manual parameter tuning and part spraying altogether. ESP is a key differentiator when scanning similar parts in different manufacturing stages; initially dealing with bare sheet metal parts and finally scanning finished products painted in any color.
Supporting a wide range of scanner localizers
The ModelMaker MMDx is compatible with MCAx series and many 3rd party articulated arms.
Out-of-the-box scanning
The ModelMaker MMDx laser scanner can be connected and used instantly, using its direct plug into PC.
