Usage Cautions

About the Installation Site

Use the machine in an operating environment that meets the following conditions.

Temperature: 10 to 40ºC (50 to 104ºF) [25ºC (77ºF) or more recommended]

Humidity: 35 to 80% (no condensation)

Never use the machine in any of the following situations.

• Places with excessive humidity or dust.

• Places subject to high temperature.

• Places with excessive vibration.

• Places with electrical noise.

• Places with poor heat dissipation.

Operation and Handling

Be sure to remove the head retainer before use.

Failure to remove it may cause breakdown.

Never subject the machine to impact during a scanning operation.

Doing so may cause scanning noise.

Except in an emergency, never open the machine's door during a scanning operation.

Doing so switches off the power, and scanning operation cannot be resumed.

Never touch any internal component except the table.

Doing so may make scanning impossible.

Connect the AC adapter and USB cable securely so that they do not come loose or experience faulty

connection during use.

Failure to do so may make scanning impossible.

Use a shielded USB cable having a length of three meters or less. Never use a USB hub or the like.

Failure to do so may make scanning impossible.

Important Cautions Regarding Laser Light

This machine uses a laser beam to scan objects, but dangerous laser radiation is not emitted outside the machine. It is

safe to view the laser light through the window.

However, this may not be the case if the machine is disassembled or if its cover or safety devices are broken or disabled.

Please observe the cautionary notes in this documentation and never attempt to use this machine if the machine is in an

abnormal state.

Direct contact with the laser beam will not cause burns or fire due to incorrect use or the like. The natural blink reflex

protects the eye in the event that laser light from the machine directly enters the eye, but staring directly into the laser

beam may result in eye injury.

Items That may Not Be Copied

Unauthorized reproduction of a copyrighted item for any purpose other than personal use may be a violation of copy-

right. Roland DG Corp. will not be responsible for any violation of third-party copyright by any article made through

What Is the LPX-1200?

Features

The LPX-1200 is a three-dimensional (3D) scanner that uses a noncontacting laser method to scan the shape of solid

objects.

Noncontacting Laser System for Fast, Dependable Scanning

You can perform scanning without contact with the scan object, using a laser beam. This enables high-speed scanning

without the worry of damage to the object.

Support for Two Scanning Modes

Using the included Dr. PICZA3 program lets you perform scanning in either of two modes: plane scan or rotary scan.

You can choose the scanning mode that matches the shape of the scan object. By combining the two modes, you can

even scan objects with complex shapes.

A Wide Array of Scanning Functions

In addition to the two basic scanning modes, line-segment and point scanning functions are also supported. By using Dr.

PICZA3, you can extract the data for just the characteristic line segments (such as contour lines) and points of an object.

Using this as auxiliary data for three-dimensional modeling operations using CAD or computer-graphics programs

makes it possible to reduce the time and effort of modeling operations.

Scanning System

The LPX-1200 scans objects using laser light. It emits a spot beam onto the scan object and detects reflected light from

the object with sensors.

Laser emitter

Sensor

It performs scanning as it rotates the scan object and moves the laser beam from bottom to top.

2-1 Task Flow

This machine can scan three-dimensional shapes using the included Dr. PICZA3 program. To make 3D data obtained by

scanning available for use by other programs, you need to convert and save the data using Dr. PICZA3.

This section describes the sequence of operations from getting ready to scan through to saving the 3D data.

Prepare the object to be scanned and mount it on the machine.

Check whether the object you want to scan (we'll call this the "scan object") is suitable for scanning, and if so,

mount it on the machine.

See "2-2 Mounting the Scan Object."

ꢀ

Perform scanning.

Use Dr. PICZA3 to carry out scanning (basic scanning).

See "2-3 Performing Scanning."

ꢀ

Finish the data.

After the basic scanning, you finish the data to the appropriate degree by performing additional scanning and

creating polygon meshes as required.

See "2-4 Finishing the Data."

ꢀ

Save the data.

Save the finished data in a file format compatible with the program you're using.

See "2-5 Saving and Exporting Data."

ꢀ

Using the included 3D Editor program lets you import directly and edit data scanned with Dr. PICZA3.

2-2 Mounting the Scan Object

First, you prepare the object to be scanned. After making sure the object is one that can be scanned, you mount the object

on the machine.

Preparing the Scan Object

This machine is not able to scan every possible kind of object. Some objects may be impossible to scan because of their

composition or shape. Refer to the following and make sure the object to be scanned is one that can be scanned on this

machine.

Object size

Never try to scan an object that protrudes beyond the table or whose size exceeds the scanning area.

Doing so may cause the machine to malfunction or damage the object to be scanned.

An object that protrudes beyond the table or whose height is too high cannot be scanned.

130 mm

206.2 mm

Table

In such cases, consider separating the object into pieces whose individual sizes do not protrude beyond the area de-

scribed above.

Object shape

Areas where the laser beam strikes at a shallow angle cannot be scanned.

20 degrees or less

2-2 Mounting the Scan Object

Object material

An object that has a comparatively smooth surface is suitable for scanning. Fabrics and objects that have a rough nap

cannot be scanned.

Yes

An object may be difficult to scan because of the type of material it is made of, or because of its color or other qualities.

Objects of a nonglossy

Objects that do not pass

light

Brightly colored objects

(White, yellow, red, etc.)

Yes

Yes material (plaster, wood, or

Yes

modeling clay etc.)

Glossy and highly reflec-

tive objects (metals,

mirrors, etc.)

Clear or transparent

objects

Dark-colored objects

(black, blue, etc.)

In such cases, applying a surface coat (primer coat) to the object may make scanning possible.

(*) Avoid highly reflective objects because of danger of eye injury.

2-2 Mounting the Scan Object

Mounting the Scan Object

Choose the object to be scanned, then mount the scan object.

Mount in the center of the table.

Secure the bottom surface

in place with clay or the like.

Table

Table centerline

The table rotates during scanning. Using double-sided tape, clay, or the like, fasten the object in place securely so that it

will not fall over or slip. Any slipping of the object makes correct scanning impossible.

When the object to be scanned has areas with cavities or voids, mounting the object at an orientation that allows the laser

beam to pass through the cavities, as shown in the figure, makes scanning easier.

2-3 Performing Scanning

While viewing the preview, make the following settings, then start scanning.

Scanning pitch

Using a fine setting can reproduce details more accurately, but the amount of memory required increases, and scanning takes

longer time.

Scanning area

Specify the minimum area that allows the entire object to be scanned, thereby speeding up scanning time.

(The following settings are only for plane scanning.)

The number of scanning surfaces

You can specify from one to as many as six surfaces. It's a good idea to decide on the number of surfaces to match the shape

of the object.

Scanning angle

Specify the incident angle of the laser for each surface. It may be a good idea to set the preview to Top View.

ing scanning may result in extremely slow processing by the computer. We recommend making sure enough memory is in-

stalled in the computer when you are performing scans that use up large amounts of memory.

For reference:

2-4 Finishing the Data

You take the data from basic scanning and modify it to produce finished data that has the form you want.

Selecting and Scanning a Specific Area

After the basic scanning, you can select specific areas and performing additional scanning (rescanning). The available

types of rescanning are as follows.

Rescan

You use rescanning when you want to increase the number of measuring points (scan points) and enhance the degree of

completion of the 3D data.

Rescan required

areas in detail.

Perform coarse scanning

of the entire object.

You can reproduce detailed

surface patterns.

...you rescan

just these areas.

Even when holes are present...

The holes are sealed, yielding

the same shape as the original!

Line Scan/Point Scan

You use line scanning and point scanning when you want line-segment or point data to serve as supplemental data for

three-dimensional modeling operations using CAD or computer-graphics programs.

Perform line scanning with Dr.

PICZA3...

...and re-create the

curved surfaces with

the 3D CAD program!

2-4 Finishing the Data

Scanning Modes for Rescanning

You can choose the same scanning modes for rescanning and line scanning as you can for basic scanning.

• Scanning using plane scanning -- Plane rescan and plane line scan

• Scanning using rotary scanning -- Rotary rescan and rotary line scan

What follows is a general guide for using these selectively.

Rescan

• When you’re rescanning areas that could not be scanned

Normally you choose plane rescanning. When the scan object has a complex shape, it may be a good idea to use plane rescanning

to perform overlapping scanning, changing the angle between each scanning pass.

Note, however, that rescanning is not effective in cases where the laser beam cannot reach the area from any angle.

• When you’re rescanning a specific area at a fine scanning pitch

It may be a good idea to perform rescanning in the same mode you used for the basic scanning.

When you want to perform fine-detail scanning of the surface pattern of a scan object whose shape is cylindrical or close to

cylindrical, you first perform coarse rotary scanning, then choose rotary rescanning.

Line Scan

Normally you choose the same mode you used for basic scanning. However, when you want to scan line segments that wrap

around to the back of the object, you choose rotary line scanning. Plane line scanning can scan only line segments on the surface

visible in the window.

The entire circumference

can be scanned.

Only the line segment

shown by the thick line can

be scanned.

Rotary line scan

Plane line scan

To Use the Data with a 3D CAD Program or the Like

To use line-segment and point data as supplementary data for a 3D CAD program, you may need to export the data and convert

the file.

2-4 Finishing the Data

Procedure

You perform rescanning using the following procedure. The screens shown are those for plane rescanning.

First, scan the entire object.

Choose a scanning mode according to the shape of the

scan object.

From this point on, never open the door until

rescanning ends. Doing so switches off the power.

Scanning cannot be resumed when you then switch

on the power again.

You can speed up operations during basic scanning by

scanning at a coarse pitch. For line scanning and point

scanning in particular, it is a good idea to scan at the mini-

mum pitch necessary to get the general shape.

When the scan of the entire object finished, click

the [

] button to choose the method you want

to use for rescanning.

Drag to specify the rescanning area.

You can specify more than one rescanning area.

Setting the Scanning Pitch

When performing rescanning, make the setting for the

scanning pitch as fine as possible. This increases the num-

ber of scanning points, enhancing the degree of comple-

tion. When little free memory is available, it may be a

good idea to use a narrow scanning area and perform

rescanning in several passes.

2-4 Finishing the Data

Creating New Polygons

You can create new polygons using all the scanning points, including the data produced by rescanning. These polygons

are called a "polygon mesh." Creating a polygon mesh can make it possible for you to reproduce cavities and voids in

the object and fill in holes according to the surrounding shape.

Creating a polygon mesh for

...deletes surfaces, reproducing

the void area of the original!

Creating a polygon mesh when

a hole has occurred ...

...lets you fill in the hole

simply and easily!

A polygon mesh is composed of polygons created by estimating the original shape of the scan object from the scanning

points. They differ from the polygons displayed immediately after scanning, which are generated simply by connecting

the scanning points.

Procedure

Click the [Create Polygon Mesh...] button.

The [Polygonization Options] dialog box appears.

[Create polygon mesh...] button

Select the parameters for creating a polygon

mesh, then click [OK].

For detailed information on the [Polygonization Options]

dialog box, refer to the online help for Dr. PICZA3.

If the polygon mesh is not what was intended,

change the parameters and create it again.

Tips for Creating a Polygon Mesh

To create a polygon mesh having a high degree of completion, you may need to scan at as fine a pitch as possible in order to

increase the number of scanning points. In particular, cases like those described below may yield a polygon mesh having a

configuration that is not what you intended.

• When there is a small number of scanning points with respect to undulations in the scan object

• When areas with holes are too big or the shape of them is complex

In such cases, rescan just that area at a fine pitch. When little memory is available on the computer, it may be a good idea to

divide the area into parts and repeat rescanning several times to increase the number of scanning points sufficiently, and then

create the polygon mesh.
