Laser Design, Inc.
Laser Design Inc. is a company headquartered in Minneapolis, MN that designs, manufactures, and sells 3D laser scanners used to digitally capture the shape of physical objects such as free-form surfaces and geometries.
Established in 1987, Laser Design offers 3D scanner and laser scanning services, with technology designed to reduce scanning time by enabling faster data collection.[1] Surveyor 3D laser digitizing systems measure parts of all sizes, including those with geometry. Inspection and verification applications, including process control and in-line inspection, reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, are aimed to be a major consumer of laser scanning systems in the future.
Laser Design received the Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Company awards in 2007[2] and operates GKS Inspection Services, an in-house service bureau division offering 3D scanning, reverse engineering, and dimensional inspection services. GKS provides terrestrial scanning services for digitizing large objects such as bridges, buildings, power plants, mines, and ships.
GKS Inspection Services' Michigan facility is accredited by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation in Mechanical Testing and Calibration (ISO/IEC 17025).
