The ASCAND laser scanner is a precision, full-color scanner for makers or designers alike to use as a way to capture ultra-detailed scans of items from anywhere. The scanner has a compact design that can be used anywhere and transported with ease, and is capable of interpreting scans in full color rather than only capturing the form of the item. This will relay objects into the digital realm to let designers work with them as they see fit.
The ASCAND laser scanner makes use of laser triangulation technology that works with computer vision algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) that run on a scalable network server in the cloud. The unit is being launched as part of a Kickstarter campaign.
