[QUOTE="Ken Knapp, post: 127053, member: 8413"] 3shapesupportguy, I agree with you. The key is a cost effective scanner technology that satisfies the end use application quality requirements. A well built laser system will exceed the accuracy and precision of structured light technology. However, this would be cost prohibitive for dental applications and the quality beyond what is necessary. The structured light scanner is very low cost compared to a laser system yielding the same quality. Structured light and time of flight scanners will dominate dental applications in the near future because of cost, speed and ease of fabrication. I like laser systems too. I cut my optical teeth on laser interferometers back in the 80's. Ken Knapp Laboratories [/QUOTE]
