White Light Scanning Technology
White light scanning is a 3D scanning technology that uses white light source to project fringes onto the object being scanned. The sensor of the white light scanner takes multiple images of the object during measurement and sends these images through software that triangulates the 3D coordinates of numerous points spaced all over the surface of the object.

Summary
NDI's 3D laser scanning solution allows you to focus on the important task at hand instead of on the technology that you are using. Conduct freeform scanning in minutes instead of hours by eliminating unnecessary part preparation with a solution that does not require powder or paint. The system's large measurement volume eliminates the need for time-consuming photogrammetry mapping required for merging multiple data patches into a single 3D point cloud. The NDI Optical Tracker continuously measures the MSP's location in real-time, reporting all scanned data in a common frame of reference.
With a single setup, this field-proven solution allows operators to selectively scan specific areas from multiple angles of approach, ensuring efficient part coverage. When combined with NDI's advanced Dynamic Referencing technology, the system is insensitive to vibration and measurement drift, ensuring the highest shop-floor accuracy. ScanTRAK is a powerful fusion of leading technologies that provides true walkabout functionality, total control, and absolute ease-of-use.
