3D Optical Digitizers
Patterned light is projected onto subjects; deformation is recorded by an off-set camera. Triangulation calculates a 3D mesh. Fast, accurate and adaptable for human portraiture.
3D Laser Scanners
A laser line moves over subjects' surfaces; an off-set camera records deformation. Triangulation calculates a 3D mesh. Slower, but higher accuracy enabled for static objects.
3D Mechanical Digitizers
Mechanical arms physically probe objects, guided by the user; points are recorded on the surface of subjects. Intuitive but slow. Unsuitable for delicate objects.
3D Scanning software
View, edit and export scan data efficiently and accurately. Triangulation, registration and merging algorithms, polygon editing, CAD conversion, model export for web viewing.

Enhanced Geometry Solutions - LeiosMesh
LeiosMesh is an affordable but powerful 3D
scanning and reverse engineering software for the elaboration of 3D scannings
and for simple reverse engineering activities. The software loads the point
cloud from any scanning system, registers the different scannings and quickly
processes and transforms them into a single watertight mesh model, valid for
rapid prototyping, finite element analysis, animation, control and inspection.
LeiosMesh imports data obtained with 3D scanners
or touch probes for transforming the point clouds, typically derived from the
scans, in mathematical meshes or NURBS: this procedure is called "reverse
engineering". With LeiosMesh you can transform the mesh in a model out
of NURBS patches, automatically or semi-automatically, drawing the boundaries
of the patches directly on the mesh.
Standard Workflow:
Import of the 3D point cloud data from a file produced by
the measuring system (laser or touch-probe 3D scanner, digitiser, structured
light, time-of-flight, CMM machines) in ASCII, STL and
other formats.
Registration and merging of several clouds or meshes in
a single cloud.
Primary processing of the point cloud: noise and redundancy
cleaning, filtering, smoothing and so on.
Automatic triangulation procedure transforms a disordered
point cloud into a triangle mesh.
Further processing of the triangle mesh: manifold healing,
smoothing, hole-filling, decimation or refinement etc.
Automatic or semi-automatic model reconstruction with NURBS
patches.
LeiosMesh Base Leios 2009 is a modular software package with the ability to import both point cloud and polygon-mesh data aquired from various scanners and measurement devices.
Leios Base is the most basic component of EGSolutions which will allow the user to import and minipulate at a low level the mesh or point cloud.
