LASER DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM
The STARscanner® Laser Data Acquisition System replaces the need for plaster casting. In less than 2 seconds, the eye-safe laser collects the baby’s head shape data. 3-D data can be viewed in multiple planes. This captured data is transmitted to Orthomerica for fabrication of the cranial orthosis.
