(ShapeGrabber: Ottawa, Canada) -- ShapeGrabber, a pioneer in the development of 3D laser scanners for industrial measurement and modeling, has launched its fastest scanhead to date. The SG156 scanhead delivers a scanning speed gain of two to 10 times as compared to previous models, as well as a larger sensing range and greater stability in temperature variations.

"The SG156 scanhead represents the sixth generation of our industrial 3D scanner technology and features a new design with an improved laser, lens, imager, and mounting mechanism," says Pierre Aubrey, CEO at ShapeGrabber. "It will enable our existing customers to more than double their output speed. With the addition of field-of-view compression, the speed increase can exceed a factor of 10. Based on extensive internal testing, a speed increase of four or five times will be typical. New customers will enjoy the most advanced 3D scanning technology platform on the market today."
