What is FlatBed 3D?

FlatBed 3D is a high precision 3D scanner that still in an early phase of development. Flatbed 3D is intended to allow you to 3D capture objects by fitting a dual laser scan module on a coordinate type table such as a CNC router/mill/lathe. Along with a supplied USB controller (STEP&DIR) you can use your existing CNC machine to 3D scan objects using FlatBed 3D. The system is occlusion resistant, completely scalable and semi turn-key in its operation. Once captured you can then view, modify and store the 3D data on you PC. The data may also be exported to graphics and CAD applications for further post processing.

Features
  • Scan type: Topographical
  • High accuracy geometry
  • Scan speed (typical): <60 sec
  • Object size depending on CNC hardware
  • Scan principle: Non contact structured light
  • Export formats: XYZ, RAW, DXF, STL, VRML and OBJ

App

What can I scan?

If your laser or projection device can illuminated it with a thin line and your camera can capture this then there is a solid chance that FlatBed 3D can scan it in. And, FlatBed 3D includes many features to make the process as easy as possible while still allowing advanced users to set things the way they want.

How does it work?

The scanner head placed in the tool holder of the CNC system is moved stepwise over the object. Hereby the system uses the excising CNC hardware to ensure a accurate motion and positioning. A USB controlled interface will enable the software to control the CNC hardware directly thus eliminating synchronization errors between the scanner and the CNC system that could occur otherwise. The dual laser setup ensures that occlusions are minimized.
