Important Cautions Regarding Laser Light

This machine uses a laser beam to scan objects, but dangerous laser radiation is not emitted outside the machine. It is safe

to view the laser light through the window.

However, this may not be the case if the machine is disassembled or if its cover or safety devices are broken or disabled.

Please observe the cautionary notes in this documentation and never attempt to use this machine if the machine is in an

abnormal state.

Direct contact with the laser beam will not cause burns or fire due to incorrect use or the like. The natural blink reflex

protects the eye in the event that laser light from the machine directly enters the eye, but staring directly into the laser beam

may result in eye injury.

1-1What Is the LPX-60?

Features

The LPX-60 is a three-dimensional (3D) scanner that uses a noncontacting laser method to scan the shape of solid

objects.

Noncontacting Laser System for Fast, Dependable Scanning

You can perform scanning without contact with the scan object, using a laser beam.This enables high-speed scanning

without the worry of damage to the object.

Support forTwo Scanning Modes

Using the included Dr. PICZA3 program lets you perform scanning in either of two modes: plane scan or rotary scan.

You can choose the scanning mode that matches the shape of the scan object. By combining the two modes, you can

even scan objects with complex shapes.

AWide Array of Scanning Functions

In addition to the two basic scanning modes,line-segment and point scanning functions are also supported.By using Dr.

PICZA3, you can extract the data for just the characteristic line segments (such as contour lines) and points of an

object. Using this as auxiliary data for three-dimensional modeling operations using CAD or computer-graphics pro-

grams makes it possible to reduce the time and effort of modeling operations.

Scanning System

The LPX-60 scans objects using laser light. It emits a spot beam onto the scan object and detects reflected light from

the object with sensors.

Laser emitter

Sensor

It performs scanning as it rotates the scan object and moves the laser beam from bottom to top.

3-1Task Flow

This machine can scan three-dimensional shapes using the included Dr. PICZA3 program. To make 3D data obtained by

scanning available for use by other programs, you need to convert and save the data using Dr. PICZA3.

This section describes the sequence of operations from getting ready to scan through to saving the 3D data.

Prepare the object to be scanned and mount it on the machine.

Check whether the object you want to scan (we'll call this the "scan object") is suitable for scanning, and if so,

mount it on the machine.

See "3-2 Mounting the Scan Object."

ꢀ

Perform scanning.

Use Dr. PICZA3 to carry out scanning (basic scanning).

See "3-3 Performing Scanning."

ꢀ

Finish the data.

After the basic scanning, you finish the data to the appropriate degree by performing additional scanning and

creating polygon meshes as required.

See "3-4 Finishing the Data."

ꢀ

Save the data.

Save the finished data in a file format compatible with the program you're using.

See "3-5 Saving and Exporting Data."

3-2 Mounting the Scan Object

First, you prepare the object to be scanned. After making sure the object is one that can be scanned, you mount the object

on the machine.

Preparing the Scan Object

This machine is not able to scan every possible kind of object. Some objects may be impossible to scan because of their

composition or shape. Refer to the following and make sure the object to be scanned is one that can be scanned on this

machine.

Object Size

Never try to scan an object that protrudes beyond the table or whose size exceeds the

scanning area.

CAUTION

Doing so may cause the machine to malfunction or damage the object to be scanned. Scan-

object damage is not covered by warranty.

An object that protrudes beyond the table or whose height is too high cannot be scanned.

Not OK

203.2 mm (8 in.)

304.8 mm

(12 in.)

Table

In such cases, consider separating the object into pieces whose individual sizes do not protrude beyond the area described

above.

Object Shape

Areas where the laser beam strikes at a shallow angle cannot be scanned.

Not OK

20 degrees

or less

3-2 Mounting the Scan Object

Object Material

An object that has a comparatively smooth surface is suitable for scanning. Fabrics and objects that have a rough nap

cannot be scanned.

Not OK

Some objects may be difficult to scan because of the type of material it is made of, or because of its color or other qualities.

Objects of a nonglossy

material (plaster, wood, or

modeling clay etc.)

Objects that do not pass

light

Brightly colored objects

(White, yellow, red, etc.)

Not

Not Dark-colored objects

Not Glossy and highly reflective

Clear or transparent objects

(black, blue, etc.)

objects (metals, mirrors, etc.)

In such cases, applying a surface coat (primer coat) to the object may make scanning possible.

Note: Avoid highly reflective objects because of danger of eye injury.

3-2 Mounting the Scan Object

Mounting the Scan Object

Choose the object to be scanned, then mount the scan object.

Securely fasten the object to be scanned to the table so that it does not slip or topple

over.

CAUTION

The table rotates during scanning.Tipover or contact by the scan object may cause damage.

Scan-object damage is not covered by warranty.

Mount in the center of the table.

Table

Secure the bottom surface in

place with clay or the like.

Table centerline

The table rotates during scanning. Using double-sided tape, clay, or the like, fasten the object in place securely so that it

will not fall over or slip. Any slipping of the object makes correct scanning impossible.

When the object to be scanned has areas with cavities or voids, mounting the object at an orientation that allows the laser

beam to pass through the cavities, as shown in the figure, makes scanning easier.

The surfaces that reflect laser light as the table rotates and the

object passes through this area can be scanned.

When scanning an object that is considerably uneven, or that

is crank-shaped, you may need to take this effective sensor

area into account.

3-3 Performing Scanning

Once you have mounted the object of the machine, you can now perform scanning.

Before you start scanning, make sure the door is closed and turn on the machine.

Basic Scanning

This is the scanning that you perform first after mounting the scan object. The scanning data obtained by executing basic

scanning makes possible a wide variety of operations.

3-3 Performing Scanning

While viewing the preview, make the following settings, then start scanning.

Scanning pitch

Using a fine setting can reproduce details more accurately, but the amount of memory required increases, and

scanning takes longer time.

Scanning area

Specify the minimum area that allows the entire object to be scanned, thereby speeding up scanning time.

Note: When [Set for Each Surface] is selected, you can set the scanning area and scanning pitch individually for

each surface.

(The following settings are only for plane scanning.)

The number of scanning surfaces

You can specify from one to as many as six surfaces. It's a good idea to decide on the number of surfaces to match

the shape of the object.

Scanning angle

Specify the incident angle of the laser for each surface. It may be a good idea to set the preview to Top View. When

the object to be scanned has areas with cavities or voids, specify the angle that allows the laser beam to pass through

the cavities.

Scanning Modes for Rescanning

You can choose the same scanning modes for rescanning and line scanning as you can for basic scanning.

• Scanning using plane scanning --

• Scanning using rotary scanning --

Plane rescan and plane line scan

Rotary rescan and rotary line scan

What follows is a general guide for using these selectively.

Rescan

• When you’re rescanning areas that could not be scanned

Normally you choose plane rescanning. When the scan object has a complex shape, it may be a good idea to use plane

rescanning to perform overlapping scanning, changing the angle between each scanning pass.

Note, however, that rescanning is not effective in cases where the laser beam cannot reach the area or the reflected

laser beam does not reach the sensor from any angle.

• When you’re rescanning a specific area at a fine scanning pitch

It may be a good idea to perform rescanning in the same mode you used for the basic scanning.

When you want to perform fine-detail scanning of the surface pattern of a scan object whose shape is cylindrical or

close to cylindrical, you first perform coarse rotary scanning, then choose rotary rescanning.

Line Scan

Normally you choose the same mode you used for basic scanning. However, when you want to scan line segments that

wrap around to the back of the object, you choose rotary line scanning. Plane line scanning can scan only line seg-

ments on the surface visible in the window.

The entire circumference

can be scanned.

Only the line segment shown by

the thick line can be scanned.

Rotary line scan

Plane line scan

To Use the Data with a 3D CAD Program or the Like

To use line-segment and point data as supplementary data for a 3D CAD program, you may need to export the data and

convert the file.

3-4 Finishing the Data

Procedure

You perform rescanning using the following procedure. The windows shown are those for plane rescanning.

First, scan the entire object.

Choose a scanning mode according to the shape of

the scan object.

From this point on,never open the door until rescanning

ends. Doing so switches off the power. Scanning cannot

be resumed when you then switch on the power again.

Shortening the Scanning Time by Performing

Basic Scanning at a Coarse Pitch

You can speed up operations during basic scanning

by scanning at a coarse pitch. For line scanning and

point scanning in particular, it is a good idea to scan

at the minimum pitch necessary to get the general

shape.

When the scan of the entire object finished, click

the [

] button to choose the method you want

to use for rescanning.

Drag to specify the rescanning area.

You can specify more than one rescanning area.

Shortcut Keys for Shifting the Perspective

•To Rotate the Object

Hold down the SPACE key and drag

•To Move the Object

Hold down the Ctrl key and drag

•To expand and reduce the Object

Hold down the shift key and drag

SPACE key + drag left or right to shift the

perspective.

In addition to these shortcuts, you can also shift the

perspective using the arrow keys.

Delineating AreasThat Need Rescanning

You can remove improper surfaces that shouldn't ex-

ist and clearly delineate areas that need to be

rescanned.

Before you specify a rescanning area, clicking the [

] button displays the "Delete Abnormal Faces"

dialog box. Running this command deletes, for ex-

ample, the abnormal surface produced on the handle

of the cup shown in the figure at right.

3-4 Finishing the Data

Creating New Polygons

You can create new polygons using all the scanning points, including the data produced by rescanning. These polygons are

called a "polygon mesh." Creating a polygon mesh can make it possible for you to reproduce cavities and voids in the

object and fill in holes according to the surrounding shape.

simply and easily!

A polygon mesh is composed of polygons created by estimating the original shape of the scan object from the scanning

points. They differ from the polygons displayed immediately after scanning, which are generated simply by connecting the

scanning points.

Procedure

Click the [Create Polygon Mesh...] button.

The [Polygonization Options] dialog box appears.

[Create Polygon Mesh...] button

Select the parameters for creating a polygon mesh,

then click [OK].

For detailed information on the [Polygonization Op-

tions] dialog box, refer to the online help for Dr.

PICZA3.

If the polygon mesh is not what was intended,change

the parameters and create it again.

Tips for Creating a Polygon Mesh

To create a polygon mesh having a high degree of completion, you may need to scan at as fine a pitch as possible in

order to increase the number of scanning points. In particular, cases like those described below may yield a polygon

mesh having a configuration that is not what you intended.

• When there is a small number of scanning points with respect to undulations in the scan object

• When areas with holes are too big or the shape of them is complex

In such cases, rescan just that area at a fine pitch. When little memory is available on the computer, it may be a good

idea to divide the area into parts and repeat rescanning several times to increase the number of scanning points

sufficiently, and then create the polygon mesh.
