Abstract
This paper is focused on the development, implementation and testing of a semi-automated low cost motorized active 3D slit laser scanning system. The scanner is based on the software platform of the DAVID LaserScanner Vision Systems GmbH’s. The authors implemented motorized movements on a CNC milling machine, controlling the systems by the Mach3 CNC software. The authors have combined and personalized different software, mainly low cost or open-source: a specific program was written and compiled for processing; establishing communication between the scanning software (David-Laserscan) and control software/hardware of the milling machine (Mach3) throw two double virtual communication ports.

You assert that you have combined and personalized different software, mainly low cost or open-source. Which is the price of this low cost software? Which is the difference (in terms of cost) with the available commercial software?
Can you provide more details about the overall accuracy of the scanning system including the laser head and the CNC machine?
What is the total time to obtain the whole reverse engineering process for the given examples? In other words: how much time is required to obtain the digital model of the scanning objects?
