ScanningRoland started with the PIX-3 which was a simple touched based scanning technology for everyone. Still today this affordable technology is available as an add-on for the MDX15/20/40. There is a clip on Youtube.com.

In 2001 Roland introduced the first consumer based laser scanner for less than $10,000. This unit combined both rotary and planar scanning and proved to be a great success with all types of commercial and educational users.
Time has moved on and now the latest range includes 3 models. LPX600 is the all round workhorse, LPX60 is a smaller version and LPX1200 offers the highest resolution. All 3 units include scanning software Dr Picza and EZ-Studio, plus for the user who wants full reverse engineering tools the optional Roland Pixform ProII software (Rapidform XOR) is available.
All types of object can be scanned easily.

Some potential users look at the specifications for the finest increment of scanning, however, the resolution of the original LPX250 equated to something around 0.6 to 0.8mm and this was perfect for a lot of parts, and still is as there are many LPX250's still in use. With the newer models the optics and sensor are finely tuned which allows for a higher resolution scanned result, although with this comes large data files. The compact LPX1200 sees more applications like teeth scanning etc where the resolution is required to replicate the file detail. However, in the samples below you can see the detail of the LPX600 and LPX60 is perfect.
The key to the LPX systems are their simplicity.
Software for Plug'n'Play
The key to the LPX systems are their simplicity.
- Place the object inside and press the on button.
- Click Preview then select the scanning time
- Click Scan and leave it to do its work.
- Nice detailed mesh or point clouds are ready to go!

Optional Pixform Pro II software
Created for Roland DG by INUS, Pixform Pro II uses Rapidform XOR technology. This allows you to assemble multiple scans and take the process right through the reverse engineering process to a full detailed CAD model.

Exported LPX data in STL can be utilised in Rhino3D CAD, as can the surface data from Pixfrom ProII. However, if you are already a Rhino user, you can compliment your laser scanner by using RhinoReverse plugin made by iCapp.
