The Newest Dimension in 3D Desktop Laser Scanning

Now, engineers, artists, animators, and game developers have the ability to scan objects and convert the digitized models
to STL or DXF (polygons) and IGES (NURBs surfaces) formatted files economically and easily right from their desktops.
Powerful. Space efficient. Extremely easy to use.
The newest addition to Roland's innovative 3D-scanner line, the LPX-250, offers maximum scanning capability in a
desktop footprint:

Non-contact, 3D laser scanning
Converts scanned data into polygon and NURBs surfaces
Exports in STL, DXF and IGES file formats for industry standard 3D CAD and solid modeling software
Large scanning area -- up to 406.4mm (16") high x 254mm (10") in diameter
Dual modes -- offers both rotary and plane scanning for optimum performance

Now, Even Beginners Can Successfully Scan Objects
Easy Scanning

The LPX-250 requires no complicated settings or technical expertise. With just a single mouse click, the LPX-250 scans a
3D object. All digitizing operations are controlled from Dr. PICZA 3 software. Among Dr. PICZA's many features are the
abilities to adjust the scanning pitch, area, or mode, providing advanced users with more options and control over the
scanning process.

Compact, Desktop Design Accommodates A Wide Scanning Area

3D scanners produce scanned data in point cloud format. In order for your 3D CAD or
solid modeling software to use the data, however, you must first edit and optimize it.
With Pixform, its powerful editing software, the LPX-250 allows you to decimate, stitch,
heal, and automatically generate NURBS surfaces. It's as easy as clicking a mouse! The
data can then be exported as an STL or IGES file to industry standard 3D CAD and solid
modeling software.

Main Features of Pixform - Easily converts data into polygon or NURBS surfaces

Pixform allows you to generate a watertight solid that can be exported as an STL file or
NURBS surface automatically without tedious curve drawing. With Pixform, you can
speed through your surfacing work and move on to the design process in your 3D CAD or
solid modeling software.

- Combines scanned data for best results
Pixform can merge multiple scans of alternative views to achieve more accurate results.

- Cleans, edits and optimizes polygons
With Pixform, you can edit or optimize polygonal surfaces using various tools like
decimation, smoothing or remeshing.

- IGES file exporting for 3D CAD solid modeling software
Pixform data can be exported in IGES, STL, and DXF compatible with Rhinoceros®,
SolidWorks® and other popular 3D CAD and solid modeling software.

* Pixform is compatible with Windows® 95/98/Me and Windows NT® 4.0/2000/XP.

Dual Modes for Optimum Performance

The combination of rotary and plane scanning modes allows the LPX-250 to provide unmatched versatility. You can scan an expansive array of objects, from smooth contours to highly intricate models. Resolution is user definable to 0.2mm.

Rotary Scanning Mode

otary Scanning Mode is ideal for quickly scanning spherical and smooth-surfaced objects. Once the object is placed on the
LPX-250's rotating table, the laser beam travels vertically up the rotating object to generate a digital file. Should you require a specific area in greater detail, the LPX-250's rescanning function also allows you to rescan only the required area.
Plane Scanning Mode Plane scanning is especially suited for capturing flat areas, hollow objects, oblique angles and fine
details. The LPX-250 laser beam scans a maximum of six surfaces at right angles in plane scanning mode.
