Laser Scanning System

Cyrax is a portable, 3D laser scanning system that is designed to capture, visualize and model complex structures and sites with a combination of completeness, speed, accuracy, and safety. Users orient the scanner toward the scene, select the desired measurement area and measurement resolution, and then auto-scan. Complete surface geometry of exposed surfaces is remotely captured in minutes in the form of dense, accurate "3D point clouds", ready for immediate use. As soon as the system has scanned a structure or site, the manufacturer's Cyclone PC software allows users to use the 3D point clouds for a wide variety of applications, including those that require export to CAD and rendering software.

This system is primarily used engineering, construction, and operations and maintenance activities in the manufacturing plant and civil/survey markets. It is also used for architectural, virtual reality, heritage preservation, forensic, and other applications including:

•Site and engineering surveys
•As-builts of plants and facilities
•Profiles, volumes, area calculations
•Topo and detail surveys
•Fabrication and construction inspection
•Quantity surveys
•Conceptual design and interference checking
•Manufacturing and reverse engineering
•Historical and legal archive
