The statue is titled "De Oppresso Liber" (to free the oppressed), the Green Berets' motto, and is currently displayed at One World Financial Center opposite Ground Zero in New York City.
The scanner provides MPI with an important new capability to help polymer companies solve technical problems, improve products and processes and train employees.
3D laser scanning from NVision, Inc. is enabling sculptor Somers Randolph to keep all his creations on file as computer models, which can be used to reproduce the sculptures in the future.
Laser scanning the bowl assembly and modifying the resulting CAD models to fit previously tooled parts reduced tooling costs and time-to-market for a new aircraft toilet.
The orthodontic company needed a high-precision 3D scan of the skull to compare to measurement results obtained from its own cone-beam CT scanner. They sent NVision the skull and engineers scanned it with NVision's HandHeld laser scanner.
Engineers using NVision's HandHeld Scanner were able to quickly provide a computer model of a large impellor to a hydroelectric facility, which then used the model to manufacture a duplicate impellor for installation.
NVision's 3D scanning provides the precise geometry of the product, which can then be analyzed to show whether or not an alleged defect actually existed.
NVision's HandHeld scanner has helped Lockheed Martin engineers accurately measure millions of points by simply moving it over an aircraft's surface, enabling perfect fits on first prototype iterations
USAF machinists learn the basic tool sets of the scanner's reverse engineering software through the use of tutorials and one-on-one training with an NVision trainer.
The laser scanning provided Invensys with precise measurements of valves and other hardware, reducing engineering time and eliminating the need for field machining.
NVision's laser scanning services saved Soft Air time in creating the replica by eliminating the need to create and touch up a silicon mold of the gun.
The scanner provides a clear understanding of erosion patterns. This information in turn helps engineers improve tool design and substantially increase tool life.
