I'm just curious how you would interface this into a pc to obtain your cloud of points.
Maybe I'm thinking too simplistic here, but here's what I'm thinking:
You would attach it to the spindle in the machine. Run the machine in a series of lines across the job to scan the whole item.
You would need to know the X,Y,and Z value for each scanned point.
So you would to dprint to the PC the x and y location of each movement, and them also somehow obtain the Z value from the laser into the same line of code.
Possibly there is a way to connect the laser in some form af analog or digital form that the controller can use to convert the input into a number and set a parameter with that value so when you do the Dprint, it comes out in the same line of code.
Am I thinking along the right lines here or did I just confuse myself
