3D scanners based on laser triangulation use a laser line or a single laser point to scan an object. The laser is first launched from the 3D scanner. When the laser light reflects off the 3D scanned object, its initial trajectory is modified and detected by a sensor.
We used the SKANET app (works only on Windows) with the SENSE reader. we can put the person or object out on a turntable; or rotate around the person/object.
We did tests with both the arm of a dummy and my head.
