I A D  performs 2D and 3D digitizing utilizing a touch trigger probe mounted on a

CNC milling machine equipped with linear glass scales.

This setup yields a very clean + accurate data set.

	MEANDER -  back and forth along the X or the Y axis for 3D surfaces
	CONTOUR -  travel around an object at increments in height for 2D + 3D
	PROGRAMMED -  probe at specific points and along pathways - flow lines

The minimum interval between data points and the incremental distance between

scan lines is controlled to best reveal the details without an unecessarily large data set.

Local high density scans can be combined with lower density surface scans.  

2D contours,  single point datums and circles ( center + radius ) are often used in

conjunction with 3D scans.

aproximately 24" X 14" x 14" ( 600 mm X 350 mm X 350 mm )

in a single setup, larger with repostioning

this is a contact technique so the harder the model the better

high density foams are not a problem, low density urethane and

styrofoam are do-able with some surface preparation
