Case Study: The Wand Company achieves authentic prop replicas with Hexagon laser scanning

The Wand Company - Customer Case Study

The Wand Company, a UK-based consumer electronics company, needed to create highly accurate replicas of fragile, original sci-fi props for its remote controls without damaging them. To achieve this, they turned to vendor Hexagon and utilized their ROMER Absolute Arm with an integrated laser scanner.

The Hexagon solution provided a non-contact scanning process that was both faster and superior to alternative methods, capturing high-quality data without the need for surface treatments. This allowed The Wand Company to efficiently create idealized CAD models from the scans, ensuring their final product, a Star Trek phaser remote, met the high expectations of fans and supported the company's future development endeavors.
