Going steady

摘要

In early 2002 two young entrepreneurs set up Canadian engineering firm Creaform to begin development work on the world's first hand-held 3D laser scan camera. For a fledgling business to invest heavily in such a new technology was a gamble but it turned out to be an inspired decision. In the year since its launch the result of that early research, Handyscan 3D, has earned its developers awards, industry accolades and — most importantly — a significant foothold in the competitive reverse-engineering market.
