Lessons Learned from 3D Laser Scanning of Production Systems

3D laser scanning is a technology that can be used for creating accurate and realistic virtual representations of production systems. The purpose with this paper is to present lessons learned from how to carrying out the 3D laser scanning. These lessons learned derive from a review of six industrial studies that applied 3D laser scanning to solve different production related problems. The review shows that good planning and preparation is key factors for high quality and accuracy of the resulting scan data
