Hexagon's RS6 laser scanner incorporates scSTREAM for efficient thermal design, increasing productivity sevenfold.
The RS6 is a blue laser line scanner that collects extremely high-density point cloud data at high speeds and high accuracy. It has a more compact design than previous generations of laser scanners from Hexagon, while also adding new hardware and software elements. These made it vital that we paid close attention to the thermal and thermo-structural aspects of the scanner design. Any operating laser scanner generates heat, and this only increases as the scanner design becomes more advanced and complex. The complexity of development projects such as the RS6 is one of the many reasons we took the decision to increase our virtual prototyping capabilities, by adopting Hexagon’s CFD Cradle scSTREAM. With scSTREAM, we can now drive through time to prepare the simulation in a matter of hours and take more effective design decisions. The result has been a sevenfold increase in overall productivity for certain tasks. This is tremendously valuable to us.
