The Roland LPX-250 3D Scanner is offered as a complimentary product
to our Z-Corporation 3D Printer Range
World's First Dual Mode 3D Laser Scanner to Deliver Polygon
And NURBs Surface Conversion at A Very Affordable Price
Affordable 3D Desktop Laser Scanning - where size is not the main criteria.
Now, engineers, artists, animators, and game developers have the ability to scan objects and convert the digitized models to STL or DXF (polygons) and IGES (NURBs surfaces) formatted files economically and easily right from their desktops.
Powerful. Space efficient. Extremely easy to use.
The LPX-250, offers maximum scanning capability in a desktop footprint:
- Non-contact, 3D laser scanning
- Converts scanned data into polygon and NURBs surfaces
- Exports in STL, DXF and IGES file formats for industry standard 3D CAD and solid modeling software
- Large scanning area -- up to 406.4mm (16") high x 254mm (10") in diameter
- Dual modes -- offers both rotary and plane scanning for optimum performance

Now, Even Beginners Can Successfully Scan ObjectsEasy Scanning
The LPX-250 requires no complicated settings or technical expertise. With just a single mouse click, the LPX-250 scans a 3D object. All digitizing operations are controlled from Dr. PICZA 3 software. Among Dr. PICZA's many features are the abilities to adjust the scanning pitch, area, or mode, providing advanced users with more options and control over the scanning process.
A Complete Solution: from 3D Scanning to Data Conversion
3D scanners produce scanned data in point cloud format. In order for your 3D CAD or solid modeling software to use the data, however, you must first edit and optimize it.
With Pixform, its powerful editing software, the LPX-250 allows you to decimate, stitch, heal, and automatically generate NURBS surfaces. It's as easy as clicking a mouse! The data can then be exported as an STL or IGES file to industry standard 3D CAD and solid modeling software.
Main Features of Pixform
-Easily converts data into polygon or NURBS surfaces
Pixform allows you to generate a watertight solid that can be exported as an STL file or NURBS surface automatically without tedious curve drawing. With Pixform, you can speed through your surfacing work and move on to the design process in your 3D CAD or solid modeling software.-Combines scanned data for best results
Pixform can merge multiple scans of alternative views to achieve more accurate results.-Cleans, edits and optimizes polygons
With Pixform, you can edit or optimize polygonal surfaces using various tools like decimation, smoothing or remeshing.-IGES file exporting for 3D CAD solid modeling software
Pixform data can be exported in IGES, STL, and DXF compatible with Rhinoceros®, SolidWorks® and other popular 3D CAD and solid modeling software.* Pixform is compatible with Windows® 95/98/Me and Windows NT® 4.0/2000/XP.
Dual Modes for Optimum PerformanceThe combination of rotary and plane scanning modes allows the LPX-250 to provide unmatched versatility. You can scan an expansive array of objects, from smooth contours to highly intricate models. Resolution is user definable to 0.2mm.
Rotary Scanning Mode
Rotary Scanning Mode is ideal for quickly scanning spherical and smooth-surfaced objects. Once the object is placed on the LPX-250's rotating table, the laser beam travels vertically up the rotating object to generate a digital file. Should you require a specific area in greater detail, the LPX-250's rescanning function also allows you to rescan only the required area.Plane Scanning Mode
Plane scanning is especially suited for capturing flat areas, hollow objects, oblique angles and fine details. The LPX-250 laser beam scans a maximum of six surfaces at right angles in plane scanning mode.Specifications

About objects to be scanned:
LPX-250 scans objects using a laser light beam. Scan quality may vary depending on the materials or colors of the objects. The LPX-250 cannot scan around the top of an object where the laser beam either hits at too shallow an angle or cannot hit the object at all.
Objects that are transparent, translucent, or have surfaces which are fuzzy, glossy, or highly reflective, made of fabric, or of dark colors such as black, blue or green, may not produce good results. In these instances, using a matte-finish white overcoat or other temporary surfacing agent is required.
