Laser Scanner Training

We divide the training into 3 main sections: first we review the technical information and special features of the unit. Or we can compare units side by side for a more detailed comparison.

We then jump straight into using the equipment for a project; whether its in your office or on a job-site, the best way to learn is to do!

The last section of our training focuses on the processing and registration of the point cloud data, as well as demonstrating how to effectively use this data in CAD software.

Technical Overview

A general introduction to the principles behind 3D scanning and an overview of the scanner’s technical information.

Practical Usage

Data Processing

In the final section of our training we concentrate on data processing, using point clouds in CAD and other specific questions.
