What happens when you get some of the most experienced voices in laser scanning around one table?

You get stories you’ve never heard, lessons you won’t find in textbooks, and hard-earned wisdom that helped shape the reality capture industry!

In this first-ever group episode, we sit down with true pioneers of the laser scanning industry. Leaders who’ve been scanning since the early 2000s, helped define some of the standards we use today, and have seen it all, from the broken scanners, the bad registrations, the costly lessons, and the breakthroughs that made it all worth it.

We talk about

-The wild early days of laser scanning

-The tech that worked (and the stuff that didn’t)

-Why education, accuracy, and survey fundamentals still matter

-What the future holds with AI, automation, and digital twins

-And how we grow the next generation of industry talent

Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been in the game for decades, this episode is packed with insight, humility, and a surprising amount of humor.
